A position that is currently vacant and needs to be filled at a company is job openings. These can either be created, depending upon work required or arise when one employee leaves the organisation or is transferred. For a job opening to be officially rolled out to prospective applicants, work needs to be available, the employer should be willing for the job to start/ continue and recruitment drive is in place. Ideally, job openings tend to increase when the economy is performing well and vice-versa.
