Public vs non-public

How the Requirements share differs by market segment

Public-sector: 15 matches among 335 covered vacancies (4%). Non-public: 39 among 399 (10%). The observed share is currently higher in the non-public segment.

This segmentation reflects SpanSam source/employer signals and is not an official national labour-market estimate.

Qualification context

Qualifications mentioned alongside Customer service

These are co-occurring qualification signals inside the same matching vacancies. They are mentions, not automatically minimum credentials.

Methodology and limits

This report analyses current deduplicated opportunities indexed by SpanSam. It describes SpanSam's indexed inventory, not the entire South African labour market.

Signals are counted only from structured vacancy Requirements using the configured SpanSam taxonomy. Missing Requirements are unknown. Counts can change as vacancies open, close or are re-indexed.

Historical movement is not claimed on this topic page until sufficient real daily snapshots exist for a like-for-like comparison.

Current data quality: 1085 of 1195 current opportunities (91%) have usable structured Requirements.
