The Georgian job market, in numbers

Every day findjobs.ge collects every vacancy publicly posted in Georgia: the big boards, the smaller ones and the careers pages of companies that never use a board. That gives one table with the whole country's hiring in it. This is what it said on 15 September 2026: 7,649 open vacancies, each counted once, what they pay, who is hiring, and how fast they disappear.

01 What is being hired

Sales is the biggest field with 1,481 open vacancies, one in five. Administration and management follows with 1,164, then logistics and drivers with 887, finance and accounting with 788 and restaurants with 741. IT and programming, the field that gets the most attention, is 368 vacancies, under five percent of the market.

Count by exact job title and the picture gets more concrete. The single most advertised job in Georgia right now is sales manager, with 168 open positions carrying that exact title. The first trade on the list is the cook, the first office role is the administrator, and the first role that needs a diploma is the accountant, at 48.

Almost everything is full-time: 7,168 vacancies against 430 internships and only 33 advertised as part-time. The board is written in Georgian, 7,347 of the 7,649 listings, yet 2,352 vacancies, nearly a third, require English from the applicant.

02 What it pays

Only 2,241 vacancies, 29 percent, state a monthly salary, and that share is not evenly spread. Drivers, cleaners and security staff are usually told what the job pays: 45 percent of logistics listings state a figure, 43 percent of security, 41 percent of cleaning. Office jobs hide it. 16 percent of finance listings name a salary; in IT it is 8 percent, 28 listings out of 368.

A driver is told what the job pays. A programmer is not.

Among the vacancies that do state pay, the median is 1,350 GEL a month. The middle half sits between 1,000 and 1,750; a tenth offer under 850, a tenth offer 2,500 or more, and 76 listings advertise 4,000 or above. The most common band is 1,000 to 1,249 GEL, the going rate for the roles the market hires most: in Tbilisi a cashier-consultant is advertised at a median of 1,000, a shop consultant at 1,050, a waiter at 1,300, a cook at 1,600 and a sales manager at 1,700.

Two smaller findings. A vacancy that requires English has a median advertised pay of 1,430 GEL against 1,300 for one that does not, a premium of about ten percent. And internships are not free labour here: 115 of the 430 internships state a salary, and their median is 1,200 GEL.

03 Where the work is

The capital also pays more for the same job. An administrator in Tbilisi is advertised at a median of 1,500 GEL; in Batumi, 1,200. Logistics: 1,500 against 1,230. Restaurant work: 1,500 against 1,200. Finance: 1,450 against 1,200. Sales is the one field where the two cities are close, 1,200 against 1,144. Remote roles, more than half of which reach the board through international remote-work sites, have a median of 1,500.

04 How fast the market moves

This is the part no single board can see, because a board only knows its own listings. In the two weeks from 31 August to 13 September, 5,983 distinct vacancies appeared for the first time, 427 a day, weekends included. In the same two weeks 5,099 were taken down. The market turns over roughly 400 vacancies a day and grew by about 60 a day.

Vacancies do not last long. Of the 7,078 vacancies we started following on 26 August, 91 percent were still open after a week, 79 percent after two weeks and 69 percent after twenty days. Company careers pages turn over fastest: only 52 percent of their vacancies are still open at day 14, because a company that runs its own page takes the ad down the day the role is filled. On the two largest job boards, 76 and 88 percent are still open at two weeks. And a takedown is usually a hire: nearly half of the listings removed from the largest board since 26 August came down before their own deadline, on average twelve days early.

05 What to do with this
