Online job portal Jobstreet by SEEK has released new data highlighting the most in-demand job specializations for the first half of 2025.
Topping the list is accounting, which now accounts for 11.81 percent of total job postings.
Despite the strong demand for professionals in STEM-related fields, Jobstreet by SEEK noted that the supply of accounting talent still falls short of industry requirements.
Information and communication technology (ICT) follows closely at 11.14 percent, with sales ranking third at 10.10 percent.
Both ICT and sales have remained consistently high in demand, as companies continue to seek talent to drive digital innovation and business growth.
Other popular job specializations include call center and customer service at 9.98 percent; manufacturing, transport and logistics, 8.12 percent; administration and office support, 6.43 percent; retail and consumer products, 5.40 percent; marketing and communications, 5.09 percent; human resources and recruitment; 5.09 percent; and, engineering at 4.74 percent.
Aside from accounting, sales and marketing and communications saw the largest increase in job postings over the past three months.
Averaging 130,000 job posts per month, Jobstreet by SEEK continues to offer a range of entry-level roles on its platform.
“Jobstreet by SEEK is here to provide work for Filipinos because we believe that everyone deserves access to a job. Our goal is to empower every Filipino and help bridge the unemployment gap by connecting them with the right opportunities,” said Jobstreet by SEEK head of marketing Joey Yusingco.
