Almost a quarter of employers to add to workforce
Nearly a quarter of employers will add to their workforce in the next quarter, according to new research.
The research, from jobs board CareerBuilder, shows that while 36% of employers will slow their hiring pace, 24% plan to add to their headcount in the next quarter, one third cannot find suitable employees for vacancies and one in four workers are actively searching for a new job, up 16% on the same period last year.
Tony Roy, managing director of CareerBuilder.co.uk, said: “In a slower job market, employers shift focus and use the time to find the best possible talent available because it is more important than ever that employees perform and add value to the organisation. The most successful job seekers will be knowledgeable about their potential employers, customize their CVs for the position at hand and focus on their ability to deliver results.”
