The last quarter of 2023 finished with a 23% percent decline from Q4 2022 in the average number of jobs posted—and a 52% increase in the number of applications, indicating just how competitive the current job market has become.
In a recent BioSpace survey, 72% of respondents, including those who are employed, indicated that they are currently looking for work.
Despite the decline in postings, most life science organizations are still actively recruiting, and more than a third predict their number of open roles will increase in 2024.
