An Evaluation of the Job Offers with a focus on Czech Digital Entrepreneurship

Abstract

The presented paper evaluates job offers posted by Czech start-ups, using data from the StartUpJobs website. The website focuses on advertising job offers for start-ups, using its definition of the term. The paper evaluates job descriptions, technological skills required by the companies, and offered benefits (e.g., remote working). The second part of the paper is focused on digital technology-related positions, as they constitute most of the offers. The structure of the required skills is compared with the worldwide trends and possible shifts in the structure of the offers are outlined, as the Czech job market tends to follow trends presented in the USA and Western Europe countries. As the last point, a variety of job descriptions is used to estimate the extent of products and services provided by digital start-ups and entrepreneurs.The outcome of the paper can be used by educational organizations to customize portfolios of their courses to match the demand of the job market. Persons interested in working in the IT industry can use the outcome to efficiently plan their education to acquire the most demanded technical skills. The HR officers of companies can see how competitive their segment of the market is and whether their advertisements lack some widely offered benefits.
