The Skills Crisis Countdown: The Clock is Ticking on Tackling Skills Gaps

Our latest research reveals, nine in 10 HR leaders believe that up to 50% of their workforce will need new skills to perform their jobs in the next 5 years.

[On-Demand] The Human Advantage: Redefining Employer Value Proposition for the New World of Work

Engaged and empowered employees are the key to unlocking productivity and profitability. Over the past few years, worker priorities have shifted—employees now prioritize meaningful work, development opportunities, work-life balance, and a sense of belonging over job security and loyalty. To respond, employers must evolve their employer value proposition (EVP) to a personal value proposition—what we call a PVP—to attract, engage and retain top talent.

Join PeopleScout Global Head of Talent Advisory Consulting Simon Wright and Employer Brand Strategist Amy Turner  for our Talking Talent Webinar, The Human Advantage: Redefining Employer Value Proposition for the New World of Work, available on-demand now.

In the webinar, Simon and Amy provide insights on:

  • The cost of disengaged and unsatisfied employees in terms of productivity loss and turnover
  • How emphasizing employee well-being and purpose can boost engagement, innovation and performance
  • Shifting from a generic EVP to a tailored PVP focused on each individual
  • And more!

Inside the Candidate Experience

The Hard Truth About Candidate Expectations vs Candidate Experience Realities

The candidate experience has never been more important. Yet, the latest research from PeopleScout shows that less than two in 10 candidates would rate their recent recruitment experience as excellent.

We audited the candidate journey of over 215 organizations around the world, giving each a Candidate Experience Quotient (CandidateXQ) score—a calculation based on 40 key experience indicators, including 15 critical factors that make or break the candidate experience.

By analyzing these CandidateXQ scores alongside data gathered from surveying over 2,400 job seekers globally, we uncovered a clear disparity between candidate expectation and reality.
