JAKARTA - Digital marketplace platform OLX presents OLX Job Fair Online 2026
which will take place from 11–26 April 2026.
This program is one of the responses to the tight competition in the domestic labor market.
In this event, there are more than 1,300 job vacancies with fast labor needs, 1,200 most sought-after positions, and more than 800 freelance job opportunities.
Ministry of Manpower data shows that as many as 8,389 workers were affected by layoffs (PHK) throughout the first quarter of 2026, with the peak of layoffs occurring in January reaching 4,590 workers.
On the other hand, OLX's internal data recorded a spike in user activity in the services and job vacancy categories.
Activity volume increased 46 percent in March compared to January 2026.
Job demand also jumped significantly after Lebaran.
In the third week after Lebaran, the number of job seekers increased by more than 140 percent compared to the Lebaran period.
Throughout the first quarter of 2026, the average number of job seekers on OLX reached more than 523,000 people, while the number of vacancies was only around 43,000 positions.
This means that one vacancy is contested by about 12 job seekers.
OLX Director Agung Iskandar said his party provided ease of recruitment through the 3C concept, namely Find, Chat, and Send CV.
"Job seekers can immediately interact with companies and send their profiles in seconds," said Agung.
Geographically, the most job vacancies are available in the Jabodetabek region, West Java, East Java, North Sumatra, and Bali.
Meanwhile, job seekers are dominated by Jabodetabek, West Java, East Java, Central Java, and Banten.
OLX is optimistic that this event can accelerate the circulation of the local economy in the midst of the still challenging dynamics of the labor market.
