Manpower Group’s annual Talent Shortage Survey revealed that the number of global employers reporting challenges filling mission-critical positions in 2015 peaks at a seven-year high of 38%.

The proportion of employers who say talent shortages impact their ability to serve client needs remains at the same level as 2014 (54%) reinforcing that not enough is changing to address talent shortages globally. More than one in five global employers is still not pursuing strategies to tackle talent shortages.
