Skills Shortages Begin to Bite 2006

Skills Shortages Begin to Bite

Two-thirds of UK employers experienced recruitment difficulties due to skills shortages last year and nearly half were pessimistic about the prospects for 2006 according to the latest quarterly Recruitment Confidence Index (RCI).

The RCI, produced by the Cranfield School of Management in association with Personnel Today, reveals that more than one-third of the 1,000 respondents feel the quality of applicants has fallen over the past year. Almost half say the skills shortage has worsened in the past 12 months. The most difficult roles to recruit for were found to be management posts (26%), followed by technical positions (10%) engineering jobs (9%) and IT (5%).

The most common strategy for overcoming skills shortages is to develop existing employees.

January 2009 - Redline announce long term partnering agreement with Megger ™

The Redline Group, specialist technology recruiters and Megger the World famous manufacturer of test solutions have entered into a formal partnership agreement for the supply of technology recruitment services for 2009. The agreement will see Redline take a frontline role in Megger’s recruitment activities for both permanent and contract staff.  

I would like to thank Redline for the help and support they have provided in shaping my career over the past 2 years. Personally I would like to thank Adam, David and Guy for their help and guidance through the application process in my current role - they provided insightful expert advice and clear honest information at every step of the way which gave me confidence as the process progressed. From past experiences with other recruitment agencies I can safely say Redline is the leading specialist recruitment consultancy in the UK and would have no hesitation recommending and continuing my relationship in the future

I was looking around for a job for some time when I got in touch with Guy Brown and suddenly felt looked after. Guy was simply the best. With my experience and skill-set, Guy formulated a different but accurate strategy for me. It was not just responding to adverts but identify companies who may find my skill set useful. It was smart marketing. In my case I could potentially be moving out of main discipline as well and be relying on transferable skills. Guy had a plan on how to minimise the competition. Guy made sure there was timely feedback so that I never felt isolated. If you are looking for a job, Guy is the person you want to know. He is the ultimate fox when it comes to recruitment.

Please accept my deepest gratitude for the excellent service I have recently enjoyed from Chris Stone and yourself. I have been involved with other recruitment specialists but none comes close to the level of attention to that provided by Redline. Your attention to detail is of the highest quality and the feedback you provided at all stages was most welcome. I will not hesitate to recommend your services to others, indeed I have already done this on a couple of occasions. Thank you once again for helping me, I am looking forward to a long and successful career.
