Survey: More than a fifth of companies in Czechia plan to hire more people in 2023

According to a survey conducted by ČSOB Index, 21 percent of companies and entrepreneurs in Czechia are planning to hire more employees in 2023. Meanwhile, 6 percent are looking to downsize, with the remaining 73 percent of respondents stating that they are not planning any changes.

According to ČSOB’s executive director for company banking, Pavel Prokop, hiring plans are especially notable among medium and large size enterprises. The lack of skilled workers on the labour market remains one of the chief problems, he says.
