Friday, February 17th, 2012HC Online posted an article on the 7th February 2012 outlining the latest skills shortages across the nation. The latest skills index has revealed a severe undersupply of skilled labour in corporate services and engineering, and both require a ‘high level and immediate response’ by organisations. The skilled labour supply was measured by Clarius group across 20 specific occupations. As a result, many companies are recruiting candidates from overseas to counter the shortages.
