Finding talent is still a tough task for employers, says survey

A shortage of talent continues to be the primary concern for Chinese companies, with technicians, sales representatives and sales managers being the most in demand, a new industry survey said on Wednesday.

The survey, conducted by ManpowerGroup Inc, a global workforce solutions provider, indicated that about 24 percent of employers in the Chinese mainland suffered from an acute talent crunch.

About 53 percent of employers said they faced difficulties in filling some positions on the mainland this year compared with 2014.
