58 Pct Of Indian Employers Facing Talent Crunch: Survey



"The demand for IT and related profiles is expected to go up further in the current year. Roles in analytics and mobile technologies will continue to be in demand," Rao added.

The other jobs that are most in demand in India this year include, teachers, engineers, communications staff, sales manager, executives, legal staff and researchers.

As per the survey, around 13 per cent of Indian employers said talent shortages are having a negative impact on their ability to meet client needs.

However, few employers are putting in place strategies to address the talent crunch problem, the survey added.

Globally, Japanese employers reported the highest talent shortages, as 83 per cent respondents are struggling to fill open jobs there, followed by Peru (68 per cent), Hong Kong (65 per cent), Brazil (61 per cent), Romania (61 per cent) and Greece (59 per cent).

At the other end of the scale, employers in Ireland (11 per cent), UK (14 per cent) and Spain (14 per cent) reported facing least problems with talent shortages.

ManpowerGroup surveyed 41,748 employers in 42 countries during the first quarter of 2015 to explore the extent of talent shortages within the global labour market.
