November 2022 Recruitment Trends Report
Jobs rose by 17% from October to November, a positive rise considering they fell by 6% month-on-month in October and that we tend to see a slowing down of job activity in the final couple of months of the year. Applications, however, fell by 7% from October – the opposite trajectory to the one it took in October, when they rose by 10%. So, jobs rise, applications fall – the candidate-short market doesn’t appear to be abating.
The rise in jobs and fall in applications has reduced the average number of applications per job from 16 in October to 13 in November.
IT & Internet was yet again the most active industry both in terms of jobs posted and applications received, taking the top spot for both for the seventh consecutive month.
There’s been a change in the most active days – the highest percentage of jobs were posted on Wednesdays, whereas most applications were received on Tuesdays.

State of the Cloud 2023—The AI era
If we thought the pandemic years were an era of dramatic cultural and digital transformation, think again. 2023 is the year of the “multiverse,” where technological and macro changes continue accelerating at stunning rates leaving SaaS builders, founders, and investors breathless.
On one side of the cloud economy, founders and CEOs are weathering some of the most challenging storms since 2000 and the ‘08 Recession. Rising interest rates have evaporated the cheap equity of recent years forcing startups to reduce burn and drive towards efficient growth. The Silicon Valley Bank crisis drove even more uncertainty into an already fragile environment. But amidst the anxiety and turmoil, the tech ecosystem has witnessed something potentially as world-changing as electricity: a string of AI advancements that may prove to define technology and society for generations to come.
The Large Language Model revolution is one of the most significant developments in computing history. We believe artificial intelligence will not only multiply software and human capabilities, but also completely transform and expand the cloud economy in the process.
In The State of the Cloud, Bessemer provides a founder’s guide on navigating the financing ecosystem for what will likely be the next 18-24 months. We also explore Bessemer’s view on the cloud economy and the AI imperatives that SaaS leaders must enact today or else be left behind.

Our analysis of the April Jobs Report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Wages and Job Vacancies - Canada - May 2023.pptx
Blog – Workforce Planning – Job Vacancies and Joh Quality – Canada – May 2023
Average weekly earnings, derived by dividing total weekly earnings by the total number of payroll employees, were $1,170 in March, up 0.9% compared with February. On a year-over-year basis, average weekly earnings increased 4.3% in March, while the Consumer Price Index increased 6.7% during the same period. The March year-over-year increase (+4.3%) was more than double the year-over-year increase observed in February (+2.1%) and January (+2.1%). In general, changes in average weekly earnings can be the result of a number of factors, including wage growth, and special payments such as bonuses, changes in the composition of employment and average hours worked per week.
Overall job vacancies reach all-time high
Across all sectors, Canadian employers were actively seeking to fill more than one million (1,012,900) vacant positions at the beginning of March 2022, a record high. Vacancies increased by 22.6% (+186,400) in the month and were up 60.5% (+382,000) from March 2021 (not seasonally adjusted).
The job vacancy rate, which measures the number of vacant positions as a proportion of all positions (vacant and filled), was 5.9% in March 2022, matching the record high observed in September 2021 (not seasonally adjusted).
Vacancies increase by more than one-third in both accommodation and food services and retail trade
In the accommodation and food services sector, the number of vacancies rose 37.2% (+42,900) in March 2022. Following this increase, employers were seeking to fill a total of 158,100 positions. The job vacancy rate was 12.8%, the highest across all sectors for the 11th consecutive month (not seasonally adjusted).
There were 109,200 job vacancies in retail trade in March, up 37.2% (+29,600) from February. Following this increase, vacancies in the sector were 40.7% (+31,600) higher than in March 2021 (not seasonally adjusted).

Covid-19 Immigration Effects - Key Slides - June 2023 .pdf
Given IRCC delays in issuing citizenship data, have combined the May and June report.
At the half year mark, the government is on target to meet the levels plan for Permanent Residents (however misguided), with 263,000 to date or 57 percent of 465,000.
The percentage of Temporary Residents transitioning to Permanent Residents averages about 50 percent for both time periods.
The number of temporary residents continues to grow, with 385,000 compared to 185,000 for the January-June 2002 period for the International Mobility Program and 114,000 compared to 75,000 for the Temporary Foreign Workers program.
The same pattern applies to International students: 242,000 compared to 202,000 for the January-June 2002 period.
For asylum claimants: 53,000 compared to 37,000.
Unlike the above, the number of new citizens has no impact on housing, healthcare and infrastructure as they are virtually all here in Canada. Interestingly, this is the only program that has seen a decline in the January-June periods: 177,000 compared to 184,000 although still historically strong.
Wages and Job Vacancies - Canada - July 2023.pptx
Largest proportional decline in vacancies in accommodation and food services
The number of unfilled positions in accommodation and food services declined by 12,300 (-11.1%) to 98,100 in May, the largest proportional decline of any sector. The decline in May followed a cumulative decrease of 9,800 (-8.1%) in February, March and April. The job vacancy rate in the sector was 7.0% in May, down from 7.8% in April. Despite this decrease, the job vacancy rate in this sector remained the highest across all sectors in May.
Job vacancies decrease in health care and social assistance
In the health care and social assistance sector, the number of vacant positions decreased by 12,500 (-8.5%) to 134,500 in May, following little change in March and April. Over the six-month period preceding May, the number of vacancies in the sector ranged from 137,200 in November 2022 to 151,200 in January 2023, while payroll employment has increased by 30,600 (+1.4%) since November 2022.
Retail trade records the lowest number of vacancies since April 2021
There were 78,700 job vacancies in retail trade in May, down by 6,900 (-8.0%) from April and by 30,700 (-28.1%) from May 2022. The number of unfilled positions in the sector in May 2023 was the lowest since April 2021 (77,500). The job vacancy rate in retail trade was 3.8% in May 2023, down by 0.3 percentage points from the previous month and by 1.4 percentage points from May 2022. The year-over-year drop in the job vacancy rate in May 2023 was entirely led by the fall in job vacancies (-6,900; -8.0%), as payroll employment (2,010,800) in the sector was little changed over this period.
Job vacancies up in manufacturing for the first time since September 2022
In manufacturing, the number of unfilled positions increased (+3,700, +6.7%) to 59,000 in May. This increase followed a cumulative decrease of 25,700 (-31.8%) from September 2022 to April 2023.
The number of vacancies rose in two other sectors in May: finance and insurance (+3,000 to 29,900) and management of companies and enterprises (+1,000 to 3,600).

Covid-19 Immigration Effects - Key Slides - April 2022.pdf
April 2022 is the two-year first full month comparison. As a result, the changes are particularly dramatic given the full impact of travel restrictions such as the shut-down of citizenship, the virtual shutdown of visas and the impact on permanent resident arrivals and Temporary Foreign Workers.
The number of Permanent Residents admissions declined slightly in April, as did the number of TR2PR transitions, the latter continuing a trend since December 2021, suggesting that the “transition pool” may be drying up.
Temporary foreign workers, both IMP and the TFWP also increased, the former returning to pre-pandemic levels, the latter showing both the seasonal increase in agriculture workers as well an increase compared to pre-pandemic levels for workers with a LMIA, suggesting an impact of labour shortages.
The number of students continues to increase, well beyond pre-pandemic levels. Students from India comprise more than 40 percent of all study permits. This reflects in part that many of these students, particularly at private colleges, using study as an immigration pathway. Unfortunately, IRCC data for post-secondary studies is not broken down by type of institution.
While citizenship dipped in April compared to March, it is too soon to tell whether this is a blip or a sign of operational difficulties.
The number of Ukrainians arriving in Canada, mainly under the Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel continued to increase, more than tripling from March to almost 68,000.

Wages and Job Vacancies - Canada - May 2023.pptx
Blog – Workforce Planning – Job Vacancies and Joh Quality – Canada – May 2023
Average weekly earnings, derived by dividing total weekly earnings by the total number of payroll employees, were $1,170 in March, up 0.9% compared with February. On a year-over-year basis, average weekly earnings increased 4.3% in March, while the Consumer Price Index increased 6.7% during the same period. The March year-over-year increase (+4.3%) was more than double the year-over-year increase observed in February (+2.1%) and January (+2.1%). In general, changes in average weekly earnings can be the result of a number of factors, including wage growth, and special payments such as bonuses, changes in the composition of employment and average hours worked per week.
Overall job vacancies reach all-time high
Across all sectors, Canadian employers were actively seeking to fill more than one million (1,012,900) vacant positions at the beginning of March 2022, a record high. Vacancies increased by 22.6% (+186,400) in the month and were up 60.5% (+382,000) from March 2021 (not seasonally adjusted).
The job vacancy rate, which measures the number of vacant positions as a proportion of all positions (vacant and filled), was 5.9% in March 2022, matching the record high observed in September 2021 (not seasonally adjusted).
Vacancies increase by more than one-third in both accommodation and food services and retail trade
In the accommodation and food services sector, the number of vacancies rose 37.2% (+42,900) in March 2022. Following this increase, employers were seeking to fill a total of 158,100 positions. The job vacancy rate was 12.8%, the highest across all sectors for the 11th consecutive month (not seasonally adjusted).

Covid-19 Immigration Effects - Key Slides - June 2023 .pdf
Given IRCC delays in issuing citizenship data, have combined the May and June report.
At the half year mark, the government is on target to meet the levels plan for Permanent Residents (however misguided), with 263,000 to date or 57 percent of 465,000.
The percentage of Temporary Residents transitioning to Permanent Residents averages about 50 percent for both time periods.
The number of temporary residents continues to grow, with 385,000 compared to 185,000 for the January-June 2002 period for the International Mobility Program and 114,000 compared to 75,000 for the Temporary Foreign Workers program.
The same pattern applies to International students: 242,000 compared to 202,000 for the January-June 2002 period.
For asylum claimants: 53,000 compared to 37,000.
Unlike the above, the number of new citizens has no impact on housing, healthcare and infrastructure as they are virtually all here in Canada. Interestingly, this is the only program that has seen a decline in the January-June periods: 177,000 compared to 184,000 although still historically strong.
Wages and Job Vacancies - Canada - July 2023.pptx
Largest proportional decline in vacancies in accommodation and food services
The number of unfilled positions in accommodation and food services declined by 12,300 (-11.1%) to 98,100 in May, the largest proportional decline of any sector. The decline in May followed a cumulative decrease of 9,800 (-8.1%) in February, March and April. The job vacancy rate in the sector was 7.0% in May, down from 7.8% in April. Despite this decrease, the job vacancy rate in this sector remained the highest across all sectors in May.
Job vacancies decrease in health care and social assistance
In the health care and social assistance sector, the number of vacant positions decreased by 12,500 (-8.5%) to 134,500 in May, following little change in March and April. Over the six-month period preceding May, the number of vacancies in the sector ranged from 137,200 in November 2022 to 151,200 in January 2023, while payroll employment has increased by 30,600 (+1.4%) since November 2022.
Retail trade records the lowest number of vacancies since April 2021
There were 78,700 job vacancies in retail trade in May, down by 6,900 (-8.0%) from April and by 30,700 (-28.1%) from May 2022. The number of unfilled positions in the sector in May 2023 was the lowest since April 2021 (77,500). The job vacancy rate in retail trade was 3.8% in May 2023, down by 0.3 percentage points from the previous month and by 1.4 percentage points from May 2022. The year-over-year drop in the job vacancy rate in May 2023 was entirely led by the fall in job vacancies (-6,900; -8.0%), as payroll employment (2,010,800) in the sector was little changed over this period.
Job vacancies up in manufacturing for the first time since September 2022
In manufacturing, the number of unfilled positions increased (+3,700, +6.7%) to 59,000 in May. This increase followed a cumulative decrease of 25,700 (-31.8%) from September 2022 to April 2023.
The number of vacancies rose in two other sectors in May: finance and insurance (+3,000 to 29,900) and management of companies and enterprises (+1,000 to 3,600).

Covid-19 Immigration Effects - Key Slides - April 2022.pdf
April 2022 is the two-year first full month comparison. As a result, the changes are particularly dramatic given the full impact of travel restrictions such as the shut-down of citizenship, the virtual shutdown of visas and the impact on permanent resident arrivals and Temporary Foreign Workers.
The number of Permanent Residents admissions declined slightly in April, as did the number of TR2PR transitions, the latter continuing a trend since December 2021, suggesting that the “transition pool” may be drying up.
Temporary foreign workers, both IMP and the TFWP also increased, the former returning to pre-pandemic levels, the latter showing both the seasonal increase in agriculture workers as well an increase compared to pre-pandemic levels for workers with a LMIA, suggesting an impact of labour shortages.
The number of students continues to increase, well beyond pre-pandemic levels. Students from India comprise more than 40 percent of all study permits. This reflects in part that many of these students, particularly at private colleges, using study as an immigration pathway. Unfortunately, IRCC data for post-secondary studies is not broken down by type of institution.
While citizenship dipped in April compared to March, it is too soon to tell whether this is a blip or a sign of operational difficulties.
The number of Ukrainians arriving in Canada, mainly under the Canada-Ukraine authorization for emergency travel continued to increase, more than tripling from March to almost 68,000.
