The top hardest to fill jobs globally are skilled trades, sales representatives, technicians and engineers according to the survey of more than 35,000 employers across 36 countries. Significantly, these are the same top jobs that employers have reported struggling to fill for the past four years, suggesting that there is an ongoing, systemic global shortage in these areas. In
Data shows that 16 percent of the employers are having difficulty filling positions due to the lack of suitable talent available in their markets. This is a four percentage point decrease when compared to the 2009 survey and is 25 percentage points lesser than the Asia Pacific and 15 percentage points lesser than the global average.
According to Sanjay Pandit, managing director, Manpower India we are seeing a ‘jobless’ recovery in many parts of the world, yet where there are jobs available employers are having difficulty in filling positions. “The issue is not about the number of potential candidates, but rather a talent mismatch, because there are not enough sufficiently skilled people in the right places at the right times. Compounding the issue is that employers are seeking ever more specific skill sets and are less willing to engage in anticipatory hiring. This all adds up to a very challenging and frustrating time for employers and job seekers alike,” adds Pandit
