People in Kyrgyzstan are looking for work more often: the number of CVs has risen by 43.4%

In the second quarter of 2026, the number of active CVs on the HeadHunter Kyrgyzstan platform reached 167,000. This is 43.4% more than in the same period last year.

According to HeadHunter, the rise in jobseeker activity may be linked to a seasonal upturn in the labour market and increased competition for jobs.

Bishkek continues to account for the largest share of CVs – 88.6 per cent – although the highest growth rates were recorded in Kant (up 130.6 per cent), Sokuluk (up 196.5 per cent) and Belovodskoye (up 161.9 per cent). In Bishkek, the number of CVs increased by 41.3%.

Growth was also noted in Osh (by 52.6%), Jalal-Abad (by 68.7%), Kara-Balta (by 72.6%), Karakol (by 38.1%), Tokmok (by 31.4 per cent), Cholpon-Ata (by 138.7 per cent) and Naryn (by 30.9 per cent).

Analysts attribute the rise in the number of CVs to the recovery of the labour market and more active job-seeking on the part of applicants.
