Job postings rise in South Africa, Chile, and Colombia
Job postings saw a rise in several countries over the past week.
By Oliver Brandt, Mogi Research · Oct 23, 2026
Job postings in South Africa increased by thirty-one percent. This rise in job postings may be due to an increase in demand for Product Manager roles, Software Engineer roles, and Backend Engineer roles. The total number of new job postings across all countries fell seven percent.
Chile saw a thirty-eight percent rise in job postings. Colombia also experienced a thirty-seven percent rise in job postings during the same period. Peru and Brazil showed smaller increases of twenty-eight percent and twenty-five percent respectively.
The reasons for these increases in job postings are not certain. It could be that employers in these countries are posting more roles to fill specific needs. It is also possible that the data crawl captured more job postings than in the previous period.
