The Life Sciences sector in the EU has mirrored trends observed in the UK. The Executive Management profession saw the most significant decline in vacancies in 2024, dropping by 36.8% after a 27.5% decrease in 2023. Notably, the Legal function also faced a reduction, with vacancies down by 12.3% year-to-date. In both the UK and the EU, Sales remains the profession with the highest vacancies. Despite a 17.3% decline in 2023, Sales vacancies in the EU increased by 23.6% in 2024, reaching 8,453. Conversely, the Accountant profession experienced the most substantial growth in vacancies in the EU, rising by 30.6%. Regional data from the EU highlights a similar recovery pattern. All regions mentioned in the top 10 report experienced declines in vacancies in 2023, with Bavaria and North Rhine-Westphalia recording the largest drops at 26.0%.

in 2024, most regions reversed this trend. The exceptions were Mazowieckie in Poland and Hessen in Germany, which continued to see decreases of 2.4% and 3.3%, respectively, year-to-date. On a positive note, Dublin, Ireland, showed the largest increase in vacancies, up by 34.2% year-to- date after a 22.4% decline the previous year. Île-de- France remains the region with the highest number of vacancies at 1,646, a 10.1% increase in 2024. The Irish have made a point of making themselves attractive to direct foreign investment, through a combination of tax breaks and more liberal employment law. As a result, Dublin has the highest ratio of employment from multinationals out of any capital in Europe. Hence the increase in jobs in the city is a positive sign of major corporations scaling up their recruitment into the region.
