This is followed by sales professionals &#8211; particularly sales consultants, sales managers and account managers &#8211; with IT professionals currently in third place when it comes to most in demand.<\/p>\n<p>The highest number of vacancies for this category is for software developers, followed by business analysts, data analysts, DevOps engineers, and data engineers, CareerJunction said.<\/p>\n<p>Within Business &amp; Management, the highest number of vacancies are for HR professionals like recruitment consultants and HR managers, as well as operations managers and business development managers.<\/p>\n<p>Other job roles with relatively high demand levels during the first half of 2022 are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Millwrights and Production Managers (Manufacturing &amp; Assembly)<\/li>\n<li>Receptionists (Admin, Office &amp; Support)<\/li>\n<li>Electricians (Building &amp; Construction)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Salaries on offer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Analysing recent vacancies, salary offerings for highly sought-after professionals vary significantly. Professionals in the IT sector tend to be offered the best salaries when comparing salaries across job roles that are high in demand,&#8221; CareerJunction said.<\/p>\n<p>Data engineers, developers, DevOps engineers, data analysts and business analysts are offered between R42,000 and R73,000 per month (CTC).<\/p>\n<p>For the highest paid salaries, finance professionals are next. Professionals in roles like financial controlling, internal auditing, audit management, financial management and management accounting are offered between R41,000 and R64,000 per month (CTC).<\/p>\n<p>Despite high labour demand, salary offerings for receptionists are on the lower end of the salary spectrum. Receptionists can expect between R9,000 and R11,800 per month (CTC).<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Apart from skill level, these lower salaries can be attributed to the supply and demand balance within this field of work. While demand is relatively high, supply of labour is relatively high too,<br \/>\nresulting in greater competition in the job search market,&#8221; CareerJunction said.<\/p>\n<p>The jobs portal highlighted the 30 most in-demand jobs skills in the first half of the year, as well as the salary ranges prospective employees are offering.<\/p>\n<p>The job roles are listed in order of greatest demand.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bt_table\">\n<div class=\"table-responsive\"><table class=\"table\" width=\"100%\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"6\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th bgcolor=\"#CCCCCC\"
