Results show 65 percent of respondents found it at least somewhat challenging to find skilled candidates for professional-level positions.
“With skilled professionals in short supply, hiring strategies that worked well a few years ago may no longer be effective,” said Paul McDonald, senior executive director at Robert Half, in a statement.
The global staffing agency recommended employers re-examine hiring criteria, increase recruitment efforts, consider offering the option to work remotely, partnering with a recruiter and leveraging employee referrals by asking current employees for help.
“Smart businesses are retooling their recruiting practices to feed the talent pipeline,” McDonald said.
