Manpower Inc. (NYSE: MAN) surveyed nearly 32,000 employers across 26 countries and territories in August. The survey set out to determine the availability of suitable permanent professional candidates in the marketplace, and the impact this is having on salaries/compensation. The survey results revealed that 29 percent of employers worldwide report they would have hired more professional staff over the past six months if candidates with the right skills would have been available.
The survey shows that talent shortages among permanent professionals are particularly acute in the Americas and Asia Pacific. Employers in Peru (46%), Japan (45%) and Mexico (41%) are having the most difficulty finding qualified talent, which is causing wage inflation in these countries. Shortages are far less critical in Europe, with most employers indicating less difficulty finding qualified professional staff.
