Wages Rising and Talent Pool Dries Up
Uncategorized No Comments »A worldwide shortage of professional talent is forcing employers to raise wages and delay filling positions to the point that it is threatening to curtail growth opportunities, according to a new survey.
One in four employers who responded to a worldwide survey by the staffing firm Manpower said they were paying higher salaries for professional positions and 29 percent said they were unable to fill jobs because the appropriate talent was unavailable.
The situation is even more acute in the United States, where 38 percent said they were paying more to fill positions and nearly half said they would have hired more professional staff in the past six months if quality candidates were available.
-I say they just aren’t looking hard enough.
