Switzerland: hard work hiring qualified people

It is difficult to find new workers: it is the result of the survey conducted over 150 companies by the consulting firm Robert Walters. In Switzerland, for 68% of companies, it is hard to recruite new staff to fill vacancies.

In particular, the big obstacle is, for more or less half of the employers, the poor knowledge of languages. Companies also complain about the shortcomings of the technical level qualifications (70%) and consider an "enemy" (36%) the strong request of increasing salary by expectant employees.

The search for qualified personnel has become an operation highly competitive: the consequence, according to 36% of the sample, is that it is increasingly difficult to meet deadlines and meet customer expectations; 22% even reported a decline in productivity.

The lack of qualified candidates, however, involves a higher workload for employees in the workforce, with negative effects on moral and corporate staff turnover.
