CIPD - Resourcing and talent planning annual survey

Resourcing and Talent Planning

"The rate of youth unemployment continues to soar, but employers are still complaining about the lack of talent on the market. It’s crucial for organisations to communicate not only what skills they need now and in the future but also really sell themselves as an employer of choice in order to secure their talent pipeline in years to come."

Julie Waddicor
Managing Director,
Hays Human Resources

Employers are being inundated with unsuitable candidates, struggling to fill vacancies, and talented individuals are staying put, concluding that the
grass is greener on their own side of the fence
in these volatile economic times.

Three quarters (73%) of organisations have
highlighted an increase in the number of
unsuitable candidates for job vacancies.
However, more than half of employers (52%)
believe that competition for talent is even greater.

These are the top line findings from our
fifteenth Resourcing and Talent Planning
survey, produced in partnership with Hays.
