TalentNovember_1200x800

Press Release

Four in ten employers prefer to fill job vacancies with external talent

Over two thirds (66.8%) of European employers are aware of their long-term talent needs yet  However, they tend to search for that talent externally, even though sometimes the solution is right there within the organisation's own walls. Nevertheless, only slightly over a quarter (27%)  choose to train internal employees so that they can fill vacant positions. 34% don't really have a preference. Four in ten employers prefer to fill job vacancies with external talent. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that as such: the fresh ideas and perspectives newcomers bring are often very useful. However, companies that do not allow employees to advance sometimes miss opportunities to leverage all their in-house potential in the war for talent.  These are some of the conclusions drawn from a survey conducted by the leading European HR service provider SD Worx among more than 16,000 employees and almost 5,000 HR managers in sixteen European countries.

Half of companies cannot get work done due to lack of personnel

Half of companies do not have enough personnel to handle all their necessary tasks. These were the findings from a large-scale study carried out by SD Worx. As many as four out of ten European employers indicate they are having trouble attracting employees, nor do they expect this to improve any time soon. Furthermore, a third  also struggle to retain personnel. To compete in the war for talent, companies should provide regular training and educational opportunities in support of their personnel's continuous development.

Four in ten employees at international companies aren't always up to date with all digital applications

Three-quarters of companies operating internationally are firmly committed to digitalisation in the workplace. Even so, almost half of these companies still have a long way to go when it comes to integrating their different HR systems with each other.
