40% of Global Employers Report Talent Shortages

According to a Manpower Group Global Talent Survey, 40% of employers report significant talent shortages. This figure has continued to rise since 2007.

Sectors experiencing the hardest hit include information technology, sales, and construction.

Nearly a quarter of respondents report a lack of available applicants as being a key reason for their talent challenges.

There is a global war for talent! Savvy employers are becoming more strategic in their talent attraction efforts and spend. According to LinkedIn, 59% of global recruitment leaders are investing more in their employer brand.

How can an employer brand help in the war for talent?

Employer branding creates a pull strategy. This means less chasing and more building awareness of who you are as an employer, thus prompting talent to come to you.

A job posting only impacts active candidates in market.  Carving out a comprehensive employer brand strategy allows employers to impact the recruitment funnel at every stage. This means both active as well as passive candidates begin building awareness of who you are, which cultivates the ever sought after “know, like, and trust” factor. Employer branding plants a seed with passive candidates and when the time is right, they come to you.

Post and pray as a strategy is one dimensional recruiting.

You have an epic story to share! Don’t limit your reach and your talent pool.
