Skills Shortages Still an Issue for Employers
 
Source: TAEN 17.06.2010

The Resourcing and Talent Planning survey of 500 organisations from the Chartered Institute for Personnel and Development has found 68 per cent of organisations have experienced recruitment difficulties, with 67 per cent reporting an inability to source specialist talent.

The survey found that increased pressure on budgets has forced more organisations to focus on developing in-house talent rather than recruiting externally, up from 40 per cent in 2009 to 66 per cent this year.

More organisations are focusing on retention policies. Over half (54 per cent) are now implementing measures to retain rather than recruit talent, up from 36 per cent last year.

Cost pressures, also mean that more, nearly half (49 per cent), of employers are turning to social media when recruiting compared with 31 per cent in 2009.
