The UK is at risk of having to fight for highly-skilled workers in industries such as technology and banking, according to new research.
It is among the top five countries to face a prevalent shortage of talent, recruitment firm Hays said in a report.
On the other hand, the US, China, India, Germany and Brazil rank in the top five talent networks across all the sectors it analysed. It then examined five sectors it viewed as the strongest in terms of how they are adapting to rapid digital transformation. These were technology, engineering, manufacturing, life sciences and financial services.
“To ensure the UK can continue to compete on the global stage, it needs a steady supply of talent with the right skills,” said Nigel Kirkham, the chief executive of enterprise solutions at Hays.
