9 9 Recruiting Challenges

10 Is it difficult to recruit for positions requiring new and different skill sets? Just under one-half (45%) of organizations reported that it is somewhat or very difficult to recruit for completely new positions or positions with new duties added that required new and different skill sets. Is recruiting for specific jobs difficult in the current labor market? Two-thirds (65%) of organizations currently hiring full-time staff indicated that they are having a difficult time recruiting for specific job openings, an increase from 50% in 2011. Why are organizations experiencing difficulty hiring qualified candidates? Thirty-nine percent of organizations cited competition from other employers. Thirty-eight percent said that qualified candidates were not within their salary range or hourly range rate. More than one- third indicated that candidates do not have the right skills for the job (36%) or that they have a low number of applicants (34%). Are organizations facing global competition for applicants for hard-to- fill jobs? Only six percent of organizations believe they are facing global competition for qualified applicants for jobs they are having difficulty filling, a decrease from 27% in 2011.

11 For the new full-time, regular positions being created by your organization that require new and different skill sets, how easy or difficult do you think it will be or has been thus far to find qualified individuals for those positions? Health Industry The Ongoing Impact of the Recession—Health Industry ©SHRM 201311 Note: Only respondents whose organizations were hiring full-time staff for positions with “new duties added to jobs lost” or “completely new positions” that required either “a mixture of new skills and the same types of skills” or “completely new and different skills” were asked this question. Data are not provided for 2011 due to the small sample size.

The Ongoing Impact of the Recession—Health Industry ©SHRM 201312 Note: Only statistically significant differences are shown. Comparisons by industry Health (54%)> Construction, mining, oil and gas (27%) High-tech (23%) Manufacturing (20%) Professional services (28%) State or local government (40%)>Manufacturing (20%) The health industry is more likely than the construction, mining, oil and gas; high- tech; manufacturing; and professional services industries to indicate it will be or has been somewhat easy to find qualified individuals for new full-time positions. State or local governments are more likely than the manufacturing industry to indicate it will be or has been somewhat easy to find qualified individuals for new full-time positions.
