• Companies must also try and retain key talent, for replacements are hard to find.
• A whopping 48% of employers in the country are experiencing difficulty in filling positions in their firms, a survey by ManpowerGroup has found.
• Particularly difficult to fill are the ranks of IT staff, engineers, sales and marketing people.
• “Access to talent is the key competitive differentiator and leaving key positions unfilled due to talent shortage will be a problem in the years to come,” says Sanjay Pandit, managing director, ManpowerGroup India.
• Undesirable geographical locations and the candidates’ quest for higher pay only make things more difficult for companies.
• Such shortage of talent leads to firms investing heavily in training new recruits, to make them productive.
• According to estimates by education services firm Aspire Human Capital Management, less than 25% of the country’s youth are employable, and get jobs compatible with their qualifications.
• The solution - Focus more on retention in jobs where recruitment is difficult, increase salaries, partner with educational institutions to create curriculums aligned to talent requirements.

Lets look at the bright side - Also, lets see how graphology can help.
