Irish Talent Shortages Deepen as Firms Suffer Worst Talent Shortage in a Decade.
Talent Shortage Survey 2020Now in its 13th year, the Talent Shortage Survey finds that from over 1,000 employers across Ireland, the Skilled Trades sector (electricians, welders & mechanics) is suffering the most acute talent shortage. Sales & Marketing (sales reps/managers, graphic designers) remain the second hardest positions to fill, consistent with 2018; while the Office Support sector (administrative assistants, PAs, receptionists) rises in the talent shortage rankings from eighth in 2018 up to third hardest to fill roles this year.The skills gap increased by more than five times over the past decade; jumping from 5% in 2009 to 27% in the latest survey. Organisations with over 250 employees are experiencing the most notable skills deficits: 75% are unable to fill their open roles. Conversely, organisations with less than ten employees fare much better in the war for talent, with only 18% reporting difficulty in filling roles.Click here to download the full Talent Shortage 2020 infographic.The skills gap increased by more than five times over the past decade; jumping from 5% in 2009 to 27% in the latest survey.

Build, Buy, Borrow and Bridge – how to solve the talent shortage in your organisation
Build, Buy, Burrow, BridgeUnless you have been avoiding the internet and all media sources for the past few years, you will have heard (likely on multiple occasions) about the skills shortage affecting both Ireland and countries across the globe. And it’s impacting every industry, with organisations simply unable to find the people they need with the right blend of technical and soft skills. As ManpowerGroup’s latest Talent Shortage report highlights, Engineers, Technicians, Management, and Professionals (project managers, lawyers and researchers) are among the top 10 most in-demand skills in Ireland. But what can organisations looking to recruit this specialist talent do to ensure that they are not negatively impacted by these shortages?As the global leader in professional resourcing and workforce solutions, working with over 80% of the Fortune Global 500, we have a deep understanding of the most effective workforce strategies in the digital age. To help you build your specialist talent pipeline, here are the four key parts we believe organisations need to develop an effective talent strategy:1. Build - Invest in learning and development to grow your talent pipeline With specialist professionals becoming increasingly difficult to source in the market, many organisations are beginning to turn to building their own talent in-house. Over half of the organisations surveyed are investing in learning platforms and development tools to build their talent pipeline, up from just 20% in 2014. 64% of employers are upskilling people in hard skills through technical certifications, apprenticeships and programming courses. And 56% are investing to develop their employees’ soft skills.But rather than selecting who goes forward for specific training based on a gut feeling, businesses must move towards making these decisions based on data: improved people analytics, psychometric assessment, predictive performance and AI can help employers to map their workforce and upskill their talent to areas where they require specialists.Most importantly, this approach can also be very positive for the employee, encouraging them to stay with the organisation longer as they develop and progress in their career.2. Buy – Go to external market to find the best talent that cannot be built in-house in the timeframe required Sometimes the speed that you require for business critical projects to be delivered means that organisations just don’t have the time to upskill an existing member of staff into a new role. Instead, you need to deploy someone who already has the right capabilities to fill your skills gap.In specialist markets such as IT and engineering where the talent is particularly hard to find, employers need to work harder to attract talent. This includes developing and showcasing a strong employee value proposition, a clear purpose for the organisation and an attractive culture. In the absence of this, employers should expect to be prepared to pay a premium with benefits, wages or other perks.This is all the more important given how transparent workplaces are to today’s job seekers – and it’s becoming much harder to hide when your culture isn’t up to scratch.3. Borrow – Cultivate communities of talent outside the organisation, including part-time, freelance, contract and temporary workers to complement existing skillsBusinesses often require talents for a short-term project, perhaps as part of an IT infrastructure implementation or to support with a large-scale engineering project.Traditionally, HR has focused on permanent employees, but with a greater number of workers choosing to work more flexibly, particularly in markets such as IT where contractors can often attract much higher salaries, total talent management solutions will be increasingly beneficial. Organisations must learn to cultivate communities of workers inside and outside of the company, tapping into the required talent in all its available forms.4. Bridge – Help people move on and move up to new roles inside or outside the organisationThe final pillar of the talent strategy is helping people to move on and up to new roles – whether they are with your organisation or elsewhere. This is particularly important for roles which are becoming redundant within the organisation, and organisations should work to identify and nurture talent with transferable skill sets.Done effectively, this approach will help the organisation to optimise the skills they have, and find alternative pathways for those whose skills no longer fit the business requirements.Unfortunately it will not always be possible to move people into a new role within their existing organisation, and employers must ensure that they treat people with respect and dignity in helping them to transition smoothly, taking their skills to new roles in other businesses.If you’d like to find out more about how Experis can help with your talent shortages, visit our Client Services section, or get in touch.The post Build, Buy, Borrow and Bridge – how to solve the talent shortage in your organisation appeared first on ManpowerGroup.

Are Graduates the key to bridging the skills gap in Life Sciences?
As covered in a recent Irish times article, graduates are facing some of the lowest unemployment rates since the last boom. Indeed, a recent survey by the Higher Education Authority shows that nearly 70% of all graduates are currently in employment and the majority of these are based here in Ireland. There hasn’t been a better time in the last 10 years, especially for STEM graduates to exit education and enter the working world. Companies in the Life Sciences sector are seeing the benefits of recent influx of STEM graduates. With an unemployment rate at 6.1%, graduates in Ireland are entering an employment environment that is unrecognisable to what is was 8 years ago. There are many benefits to hiring graduates and we have seen companies taking advantage of this in greater numbers in recent years by including them in the organisations talent strategy. Graduates – what are the benefits? Salary Cost There is an initial cost saving benefit for your talent strategy as starting salaries are often less than what is expected from more experienced staff. Graduates on average look for anywhere between €21,000 to €33,000 depending on industry. Willingness to Learn Usually the fundamental skills required for the position would have been attained in their college education. With no professional experience these graduates are your blank canvas, yours to be moulded into the best organisational fit. Often straight from the classroom and into the professional working world, graduates are able to quickly absorb information, train at a higher rate and take direction well. New Perspectives Injecting a new way of thinking both from an academic and generational stand point, graduates can bring a fresh perspective and increase team diversity. They provide an element of flexibility as bad work habits are yet to be formed which allows for graduates to quickly adapt to the established culture. As technology continues to evolve at a rapid pace, graduates are usually at the forefront of strides in technology. Succession planning Providing a career path for young graduates allows for hiring managers to move new hires laterally throughout the organisation. This experience prepares future managers with a holistic understanding of the organisation. By thinking of graduates long term capabilities, investing the time and resources could ensure you have the right people in the right place when management positions arise. With the graduating class of 2018 soon to be released eagerly looking for their first opportunity, the question is, can supply meet demand? With over 8000 jobs forecasted for the next few years in the Life Sciences sector it’s time for our STEM graduates to shine and for organisations to take advantage.

Permanent or Contract?
Your full potential can’t be captured in a CV, job title or job description. That’s why we’ll get to know you and build a detailed understanding of your unique talents, experience and interests, so we can match you to the right positions and accelerate your professional success. We offer opportunities across both contract and permanent work, and each type of employment comes with its own benefits and downsides. It’s important you get a good understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of each type of employment. Here’s an overview of what you can expect: Contractor Roles Companies across all industries look to contractors for specialised expertise and the flexibility to meet fluctuating business demands. As the workforce is dynamic and constantly changing, we support organisations of all sizes in recruiting for large numbers of contract roles. Contracting offers immediate work benefits, while providing a lasting career impact. It promotes professional growth and offers you the flexibility to have greater control of their career development and lifestyle. Most employers provide benefit packages, often including health insurance, disability insurance, paid time off and pension schemes. However, as an independent contractor, you won’t be offered any of these benefits by companies that use your services and will have to purchase them on your own. It’s not all bad news though - contractors are likely to command a much higher daily rate than the salary equivalent. Generally, contract work is paid either at an hourly rate or as a flat fee for a job. The disadvantage of an hourly rate is that there is no guarantee of steady, working hours and your income may fluctuate wildly. While you’re contracting, you’ll need to keep your own financial accounts – but fear not, we offer our contractors access to expert advice on this. Each new contract assignment provides an opportunity to gather new skills, grow in experience, gain exposure to various industries and organisational cultures, and expand your professional network. You’ll have access to numerous opportunities and more chances of finding work that inspires you. With each experience, your marketability will grow and your career will continue to accelerate. Permanent Roles In today’s uncertain economy, permanent roles offer a level of job security and a structured working environment which appeals to many. It facilitates long-term career growth and builds continuity - providing employees with the opportunity to develop invaluable experience within an organisation, and opens the door to opportunities for career training, development and job progression. Permanent workers are often offered a number of benefits, including holiday and sick pay, along with a range of other incentives. While working in a permanent role, you may have difficulty achieving and maintaining a work-life balance; whereas contractors often have greater flexibility in when, where and how they work. For example, permanent employees may be expected to be in an office during set business hours, where a contractor may work from home or another remote location, completing specific tasks rather than punching a time clock. This creates a greater degree of personal freedom. At Experis, we want to know what makes you tick and what’s really important to you and your career. We tap into our extensive client network, open the right doors, and promote your qualifications. If you want to develop your career, we will help you find that next permanent position that lets you soar. Posted on: 19/04/17

Reframing Gender Diversity within Your Workforce
10th June 2014, Dublin – Earlier this week Experis Ireland and Right Management hosted the second in their series of seminars on female leadership entitled ‘Reframing Gender Diversity within Your Workforce’. The event took place at The Westin Hotel, Dublin. The guest speakers were from multinational organisations, Intel and EMC, where they are all deeply involved in their firm’s diversity initiatives. Both organisations are on unique journeys and they shared insights on the global diversity strategy, Irish application and their perspectives as participants within their programs. The gender diversity event held in Dublin raised a number of key gender diversity issues and included a thought-provoking seminar with plenty of discussion around responsibilities in the workplace. The event also stimulated discussions about using talent management to help overcome some of the workplace issues around gender diversity. Niamh Cornally, Client Services Director at Experis Ireland, explained the importance of this series of seminars, “as part of our journey on the Female Leadership Series, we are seeing increased trends in organisations for inclusion and development of gender diversity strategies for nurturing the talent within their business. Mind-sets have to change and aligned at a leadership level to encourage and implement mentor programmes to develop our future leaders, whatever gender they might be.” From left to right: Ian Symes - Right Management, Laetitia West - Intel, Amber HarrisonCrudge - EMC, Niamh Cornally - Experis, Sabina Carchesio - Right Management Posted on: 06/12/16
