Recruitment Advice

The CIPD have warned the government against creating jobs rather than focusing on improving skills. The concerns are that people who have lost there job during the recession and have skills shortages will lose out in the long term because of their employability. With so many people being out of work there are alot of skills for employers to choose from when plugging the gaps in there recruitment needs.

“John Philpott, Chief Economist at the CIPD said that although many top university graduates would be joining the ranks of unemployed, training  was still essential to improve overall employability. We approached the current recession with a backlog of joblessness, and they are the ones who will be at the back of the queue when looking for work,”
