Job vacancy

A job vacancy is a completely new job or an existing workplace for which an employer actively seeks an employee. The job must be open for application also to those not working in that establishment, and it is planned to be filled immediately or in near future.

Jobs difficult to fill

An employer has had difficulties in filling a job vacancy (subjective opinion). For example, despite active measures there have been no applicants or the applicants have not been sufficiently qualified.
