Talent Gap Affecting Companies: CareerBuilder Survey Reveals Companies Deprived of Almost $1 Million Yearly in America
CHICAGO and ATLANTA, April 13 it’s one of the most worrying fiscal
enigmas of present times: Why can't companies find employees to fill their
positions when almost 7.5 million1 Americans are jobless, and millions more are
employed temporarily since they can't obtain permanent positions or have stopped
searching for job totally? As stated by a new CareerBuilder review, approximately
60 percent of U.S. companies have job opportunities that continue to be available
for 12 weeks or longer. The normal cost HR managers reveal they suffer for
having protracted job openings is over $800,000 yearly.
CareerBuilder's newest reviews on the influences of the talents
gap on the U.S. labor market were accomplished online by Harris Poll from
November 16 to December 6, 2016 and February 16 to March 9, 2017. These surveys
comprised archetypal samples of 2,391 and 2,380 companies, correspondingly, and
3,411 and 3,215 employees, correspondingly, throughout all businesses in the
private segment.
As stated by the study, 68 percent of companies who stated they
were boosting their number of full-time, permanent workers in the first quarter
(Jan.1-March 31, 2017) presently have available openings for which they cannot obtain
competent applicants. This is regular throughout company sizes with bigger enterprises
– which have a tendency to have additional job openings overall:
1-50 workers: 49 percent, 51-250 workers: 74 percent, 251-500
workers: 72 percent, 501+ workers: 71 percent.
"The gap between the number of jobs posted each month
and the number of people hired is growing larger as employers struggle to find
candidates to fill positions at all levels within their organizations," revealed
Matt Ferguson, CEO of CareerBuilder and co-author of The Talent Equation,
adding, "There's a significant supply and demand imbalance in the
marketplace, and it's becoming nearly a million-dollar problem for
companies."
