4 in 10 Employers Have Increased Salaries to Attract Talent | Angela Edgson

A recent JobsOutlook survey by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) confirmed that 4 in 10 employers have increased salaries to attract talent.

As part of the Gotcha recruitment process clients receive on day 3 a market analysis report showcasing talent, location, and salaries to reflect the initial person specification criteria. This is vital to the overall success because then clients have the choice at that point, to widen the salary banding or other variables to ensure they get the best opportunity of finding their best person fit for the business.

The survey also showed that the skills shortages continue to be a major concern among employers, with nearly half (49%) anticipating a shortage of candidates for permanent roles over the next three months.

Construction, engineering/technical and health/social care are the three sectors where employers most expect a shortage of candidates for permanent positions.
