Talent landscape in the public sector
Indeed data shows that the public sector still has relatively strong recruiting opportunities: for the role of “administrative employee,” there are currently 65,279 active job seekers — with an average competition of just 78 candidates per open position. In other words, organizations that promote their vacancies strategically and visibly on the right platforms can attract qualified professionals far more easily than in many other sectors.
We help you make the most of this potential — with data-driven recruiting strategies, smart job placement, and precise targeting to reach the right people where they are.

Industry analyses show that the shortage of skilled professionals in the public sector is steadily increasing. Without a change in trend, the sector is expected to
face a shortfall of at least one million qualified workers by 2030.
Currently, Germany is already
facing a shortage of more than 551,500 employees
in core areas such as education, healthcare, infrastructure, public administration, and security. The reasons are manifold:
demographic change
is driving a wave of retirements, while younger professionals are increasingly drawn to the private sector, where career prospects and salaries often seem more appealing.
A
PwC study on the public sector
highlights that administrative roles, teachers, and technical specialists are facing increasing pressure. Many positions remain unfilled for months, even as the number of applicants grows — hindered by
lengthy recruitment procedures, bureaucratic hurdles, and limited employer appeal.
Platforms such as Indeed can play a crucial role — not only by simplifying the application process, but also by helping public sector employers increase their visibility and attract qualified professionals with the right expertise.
