CIPD - Labour Market Outlook

Labour Market Outlook

“Those organisations that have the necessary tools required to gain insight into the bench strength of their talent, and the ability to effectively calculate their workforce analytics and planning requirements, will maximise their ability to execute. As the survey demonstrates, a tight economy does not necessarily lead to shedding talent. UK companies understand that human capital is an asset.”

James Reid, UK and Ireland Country Manager, SuccessFactors

The quarterly Labour Market Outlook
aims to offer an early indication of future
changes to the labour market around recruitment, redundancy, migration and pay intentions.

This quarter's survey shows that with
45 applicants applying for every
low-skilled job, the labour market
is still a ‘battleground’ for job seekers,
particularly those with less experience,
skills or qualifications. The survey
results are consistent with anecdotal
reports of employers who report
being inundated when they
advertise vacancies.
