A new report released by global recruitment specialists, Hays, has found that supply chain coordinators, transport managers and supply chain managers are all enjoying a boom in employment demand.

 

The Report, out now and covering January to March 2013, shows that there are clearly pockets of shortages for specific skills in a number of sectors.

 

“Whilst these skills are in hot demand, employers remain cautious about hiring candidates that appear to have moved around too often and they are also being very specific with their requirements, being more demanding about core and soft skills,” says Simon Winfield, Senior Regional Director of Hays in Western Australia.

 

“Employers want candidates with a proven and stable background, and some are willing to wait to find the exact match. In terms of long-term solutions some employers are interested in candidates that can take a step up to fill a role rather than have someone more senior take a step back.”
