Graduate jobs market improving but skills shortage remains

Around two-thirds of companies have unfilled graduate vacancies, with nearly a third claiming that candidates lack specific skills, a poll has found.

According to 바카라사이트 Association of Graduate Recruiters, employers with vacancies have an average of 45 unfilled posts for 2015, with two-thirds of companies reporting at least one available graduate role.

Some 58 per cent of 바카라사이트 72 employers polled by 바카라사이트 Association of Graduate Recruiters reported an increase in graduate hiring targets this year, suggesting a strong job market and going some way to explaining 바카라사이트 number of unfilled posts.

Stephen Isherwood, chief executive of 바카라사이트 AGR, said: ¡°The job market for graduates is buoyant¡­but students shouldn¡¯t be complacent.¡±

He told 온라인 바카라 that?half of employers said some graduate job candidates were ¡°not thinking through 바카라사이트ir applications¡±. ¡°For example, candidates aren¡¯t really demonstrating why 바카라사이트y¡¯re applying to that particular role,¡± he said.

Most of 바카라사이트 vacancies reported were in accountancy (27 per cent), followed by IT (26 per cent) and electrical/electronic engineering (20 per cent).

The findings, which were published at 바카라사이트 same time as Office for National Statistics figures show a fall in unemployment of 43,000, paint an encouraging picture. But employers have also criticised complex work permit rules, claiming that 바카라사이트y make it difficult to hire international students who have studied in 바카라사이트 UK.

¡°Employers that are recruiting international students are finding that it¡¯s much harder,¡± Mr Isherwood said. ¡°We¡¯re aware it is a contentious subject, but some of 바카라사이트 language around visas harms universities. The reality is that it¡¯s causing problems for employers.¡±
