1-in-2 employers struggle to fill jobs
Nearly half of employers in India are "struggling" to fill critical positions within their organisations, and sectors like IT, marketing, public relations and communications are the most difficult positions to fill, says a survey.
According to ManpowerGroup India's annual talent shortage survey, 48 per cent of employers in India are struggling to fill jobs, down 19 per cent from last year, yet high when compared with the global average of 34 per cent.
Globally, however, India's position is still better than other developed nations like the US, Australia and Japan.
For the second consecutive year, Japan is ranked at the top of all participating countries and territories, with 81 per cent of employers reporting talent shortages, followed by Brazil (71 per cent), Bulgaria (51 per cent) in the second and third position, respectively.
Australia is in the fourth position with 50 per cent of employers reporting talent shortages, followed by those in India and New Zealand tied in sixth place at 48 per cent.
Meanwhile, Taiwan is in the seventh place with 47 per cent employers experiencing talent shortage, followed by Panama (47 per cent), Romania (45 per cent), Argentina (45 per cent), Mexico (43 per cent), Germany (42 per cent), Turkey (41 per cent), Peru (41 per cent) and Austria (40 per cent).
In India, the jobs employers have most difficulty filling are those of IT staff, Marketing/Public Relations/ Communications staff and engineers, as compared to last year when R&D, sales manager and IT staff were the most difficult positions to fill.
