Here's some interesting news that I wanted to post before I go to sleep in 5 mins. Its almost midnight here in the Hague area (Netherlands). I also noticed that Manpower, a 16 billon dollar world leader in the employment services industry has changed its logo when I passed by its office at the Den Haag Centraal Station last week. Read the press release.
Employers are having difficulty finding the right people to fill jobs despite high unemployment in Europe and the United States, a survey by U.S.-based staffing firm Manpower showed on Tuesday.
The survey conducted late in January showed that 40 percent of nearly 33,000 employers in 23 countries across the world were struggling to find qualified job candidates.
"The talent shortage is becoming a reality for a larger number of employers around the world," Manpower's CEO and Chairman Jeffrey Joerres said in a statement.
"Across North America and Asia, the top three talent shortages are identical - sales representatives rank number one, followed by engineers and technicians," Joerres said.
"Employers are telling us that they are not just looking for bodies to fill sales jobs, they want experienced sales people who know their respective industries and can drive revenues."
