Employers and Recruiters
The Need For Quality People
The war for talent is escalating - despite the current economic slowdown and the end of the dot-com boom -
It is widely recognised that many countries are already desperately short of next generation business leaders. And three further trends, it is argued, threaten to exacerbate the problem over the next few years:
- Firstly, demography is changing. In many countries it is expected that there will be a fall in the number of 35 to 44-year-olds in the near future. Across Europe this number is forecast to fall by 26% by 2010.
- Secondly, companies are placing growing demands on their executives. Today a global market requires more sophisticated skills, including international experience, cultural fluency, technological literacy and entrepreneurial flair.
- Finally, the rise of many high-potential small companies means that large companies have to compete for talented people with their smaller partners and competitors.
More and more companies therefore are having to search globally for their executive talent, a factor which most graduates and post-graduates are aware of.
But now, perhaps for the first time ever, the Internet offers the sophisticated organisation, the empowerment for finding great people quickly and more cost effectively than before.
Current research suggests that using the Internet for recruitment can cut an employer’s costs by as much as 90% over traditional methods and speed up the whole process by a third.
