CareerCast #007 – Vacancies rise, but skills shortage continues




As I Please show

Summary: According to the latest Quarterly Hotspots report from Hays, which covers April to June 2013, pockets of shortages for specific skills remain across most sectors of the job spectrum in New Zealand. From accountancy to construction and from engineering to insurance and everything in between. I spoke with Hays New Zealand's general manager, Jason Walker, and asked if there really were vacancies for all the jobs listed in its report. It seems as job vacancies grow, there are not enough trained people to do them.
