| | Employers are missing
out on the UK’s top
executives because they
have failed to adapt to
new job hunting
behaviours.
According to data
released by the
Chartered Management
Institute (CMI), many
senior posts will remain
unfilled because of a
mismatch between
employer recruitment and | |
|
| | employee job-search
tactics.
The findings, which
follow a major research
programme involving the
Institute for Employment
Studies and the
Department for Work &
Pensions, show that
two-thirds of the UK’s
managers (67%) regularly
browse relevant job
adverts, with 56% also
reporting that they are | |
|
| | actively seeking a more
senior position.
However, with 80% of
organisations revealing
that they are struggling
to recruit staff with
the right skills, it is
worrying to note that
many employers appear to
be looking in the wrong
place. For example,
although 72% of managers
claim they are most
likely to use ‘online | |
|
| | job searches’ and 76%
suggest they focus
specifically on ‘online
job adverts’, just 37%
say they found their
current role via the
Internet.
Jo Causon, director,
marketing and corporate
affairs at the Chartered
Management Institute,
said: “Clearly, a
concern for employers
should be about how to | |
|
| | avoid wasting the
impressive talent pool
that exists in the UK.
There is certainly a
need to adjust recruit
behaviour because
without casting the
recruitment net wider,
organisations run the
risk of losing out on
senior staff who have
embraced technology to
boost their career
prospects.” | |
