This figure represents nearly 34% of the more than 4 million employees working for all companies that submitted their financial statements for 2025, the CCIR notes. Specialized statistics indicate an increase in the number of employees within the research and development and high-tech sectors, where the ranked companies account for over 88,000 staff members, as well as in construction (nearly 55,000 employees) and tourism (over 29,300 employees). From a regional perspective, the capital, Bucharest, accounts for approximately 515,000 employees of the ranked companies, representing over 37.5% of the total. The list continues with Ilfov County (approximately 94,000 employees), Cluj in the northwest (nearly 68,000), Timi\u0219 in the west (around 65,000), and Bra\u0219ov in the central region (nearly 50,000). Furthermore, among the companies included in the 2026 National Top of Firms, those with entirely private Romanian capital employ nearly 2.7 million people, 3.2 times more than those with entirely foreign capital. According to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania, the ranking is based on five key economic indicators: net turnover, operating profit, operating profit margin, efficiency in the use of human resources, and efficiency in the use of employed capital.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The number of new job openings posted on the online platform eJobs during the first nine months of the year exceeded 160,000, a slight increase compared to the same period in 2025. The representatives of the recruitment platform noted that, in 2026, employers in Romania are exercising caution regarding plans to expand their teams. Nevertheless, the retail, banking and finance, food industry, and transport sectors have continued their recruitment efforts. At the other end of the spectrum were the education, pharmaceutical, real estate, energy, and advertising sectors. The highest number of job opportunities were available to candidates in Bucharest, followed by those in Bra\u0219ov (central region) and Cluj-Napoca (north-west), with positions open to individuals at nearly all career levels. According to an analysis by eJobs, over 10 million job applications were submitted during the first nine months of the year, an increase of 27% compared to the same period last year. Furthermore, an increase in the volume of job applications was recorded across all age groups.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are 118 job vacancies in Cara\u0219-Severin County, according to the County Employment Agency. Most of these positions are located in Re\u0219i\u021ba, Caransebe\u0219, and B\u0103ile Herculane. In Re\u0219i\u021ba, 66 positions are available across a diverse range of occupations, including assistant cook, coil winder, hairdresser, barber, mechanical fitter, auto mechanic, driver, lathe operator, general carpenter, painter, and bricklayer\/plasterer. There are also openings for individuals with higher education degrees, such as mechanical engineer, welding engineer, environmental technology engineer, electromechanical design engineer, investment consultant, internal auditor in the public sector, bank executive director, human resources department head, procurement specialist, and occupational health and safety specialist. In Caransebe\u0219, 32 jobs are available. The majority of these are for unskilled workers in mines and quarries (10 positions) and for drill operators involved in mechanized drilling and well repair (another 10 positions). The list also includes 6 positions for fitter-assemblers, 4 for industrial robot operators, and 2 for quality control inspectors. In B\u0103ile Herculane, there are 20 job openings, 13 of which are for industrial dishwashers.
