US hiring decision-makers are split when it comes to whether recruiting is difficulty or easy amid Covid-19, according to a poll by Express Employment Professionals. It found 52% of decision-makers say it is easy to recruit and 48% say it is difficult.
It also found 40% said their company has open positions for which they cannot find qualified candidates. Reasons the positions remain unfilled include:
- Applicants lack hard skills, cited by 38%
- Applicants lack soft skills, cited by 34%
- Applicants lack relevant experience, cited by 33%
- General lack of applicants, cited by 27%
- Unwilling to work hours needed, cited by 21%
There were also some company-specific reasons such as pay, cited by 21%; benefits, 18%; geographic location, 17%; and negative company reputation, 14%.
“Recruiting for in-demand jobs is a struggle across the country right now, and it’s going to take both businesses and job seekers pivoting to solve the worker shortage,” Express CEO Bill Stoller said. “Job seekers may need to take time to learn a different skillset than their previous profession and businesses might have to offer competitive wages and a more streamlined hiring process to ensure the truly qualified don’t slip away.”
The survey took place between April 21 and May 6 among 1,005 US hiring decision-makers.
