One in three employers (34%) worldwide said they are having difficulty filling positions due to lack of available talent, an increase of three percentage points compared to 2010.
The global economic downturn may have masked the talent shortage for several years, but the global recovery, despite its slowness, has made the tension created by lack of talented workers more evident, now that organizations who have reduced staff levels are finding that they need more of the right kind of people to make progress and support the company strategy.
In the American continent the countries surveyed included Brazil, where 57% of employers indicated difficulty filling job vacancies, the United States, where the percentage reached 52%, Argentina 51%, Panama 36%, Costa Rica 30% Guatemala 27%, and Peru 10%.
Globally, Japan (80%) and India (67%) came ahead of Brazil in the list.
