Job postings in New Zealand surged by three hundred and two percent in the last 28 days. This growth outpaced all other countries, with Bangladesh seeing a three hundred and eighty six percent rise and Austria adding job postings at a two hundred and seventy four percent rate.

The overall number of new job postings across all countries rose by one hundred and forty four percent. This substantial increase may be due to seasonal hiring demands or a general expansion in the number of available roles being advertised.

Within New Zealand, the top roles advertised were DevOps Engineer, Software Engineer, and Full Stack Engineer. The increase in postings for these positions could reflect a growing demand for tech-related skills in the country.
