Hays Reveals UK Procurement Job Vacancies Rise By A Third In The Past Year

Figures compiled by Hays Procurement, the leading recruiting expert, and the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply (CIPS) show that there has been a significant increase in demand and reward for procurement and supply management professionals during the course of the past year.

Data from Hays Procurement shows that the number of procurement and supply chain job vacancies has risen significantly, with 33 per cent more jobs advertised in Q2 2011 compared with the same period in 2010. Vacancies for Procurement Officers increased most sharply (200%) followed by Senior Buyers (110%) and Procurement Managers (75%).

The highest concentration of job vacancies is in the South East (22%) and London (18%), followed by the Midlands (12%) and the South West (12%), with growth strongest in the automotive manufacturing jobs sector, up an average of 73% per quarter in the first half of the year.

Whilst overall five out of six available procurement jobs remain within private companies there was a notable increase in the number of public sector vacancies, with an average 29% increase in the first two quarters of 2011. This is despite otherwise high rates of job cuts in the public sector, which are predicted to reach 610,000 by 2014/15 at current rates, but also perhaps because of increased pressures within the public sector to reduce costs.

These increases are also reflective of an on-going trend of procurement becoming recognised as a high-level strategic function within organisations during the past decade, shown particularly in terms of salary increases. According to Hays Procurement the number of senior procurement jobs with advertised salaries of between £75,000 and £100,000 per annum rose by 35% in the first half of 2011.

Similarly, 60 per cent of respondents to the CIPS/Supply Management Profile of the Profession Survey earlier this year, reported that their salary had increase in the past 2 years. An overwhelming 86% said their procurement department was doing more than it was 5 years previously, and 39% said they report to a higher level of the company than they did 5 years ago.

David Noble, CEO of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply said: “The financial crisis and continuing uncertainties weighing on the global economy, have led many companies to review their business strategies and to expand parts of their operations that ultimately help them to reduce costs and ensure the sustainability of future growth. Meanwhile, recent scrutiny of government procurement strategies has led to more strategic employment in the sector.”

With an average twenty (19.65) applicants per procurement and supply chain job, compared to an average thirty (30.40) for human resources jobs, and thirty-one (31.09) for non-qualified finance jobs, the data from Hays also suggests that there may be comparatively attractive opportunities as well as higher demand for candidates, particularly those who may be looking to switch careers.

Meanwhile, 94% of procurement professionals surveyed for the CIPS/Supply Management survey earlier in the year, said that they would recommend purchasing and supply as a career.

Hays Reveals Research Into Why Small Businesses Lose Talented Employees

Hays, a leading recruitment expert, has announced that, according to its latest survey, small businesses may be losing out on the most talented employees due to concerns among jobseekers around pay and benefits.

The results show that almost half (49 per cent) of those surveyed believe salaries are not as competitive within small companies as they are at larger organisations, and over half (55 per cent) believe smaller businesses are not able to offer as many benefits.

Despite almost three-quarters (74 per cent) of people reporting a positive experience of working in smaller businesses, the survey found that a quarter (25 per cent) would prefer to work for a larger organisation. Over half (52 per cent) expressed concerns about the stability of smaller organisations.

However, respondents felt that job satisfaction and interesting work can be found in any sized organisation. In addition, a number of positive factors about working for smaller businesses were also identified, such as the idea that they offer a more hands-on approach (88 per cent), greater responsibility (83 per cent) and a greater understanding of the business as a whole (83 per cent). The chance to work more closely with senior staff (88 per cent) was also seen as a benefit of small businesses. Respondents also identified recognition from senior managers as another potential draw.

Charles Logan, director at Hays, commented: “In the current turbulent job market it’s no surprise that workers are looking for job security. But we also know that career development is very important to most professionals and this plays a key part in their decision to leave an organisation and accept a new role. To attract the skilled and talented individuals that are needed to remain competitive, small businesses need to combat some of the stereotypes and ensure professionals are aware of the advantages they can offer workers looking to move their careers on.

“If they cannot compete with larger salaries or more expensive benefit schemes, they can often provide more interesting and varied work and the chance for people to work with senior people. It is these benefits that they need to sell to professionals.”

Logan continued: “Benefits need to be finely tuned to the needs of workers in smaller businesses. To counter worries about stability, smaller employers need to clearly communicate to potential recruits where their business is heading and the opportunities for future growth.”

Europe Dives Into Recession… But There Is Hope

toplanguagejobs.co.uk, Europe’s Number 1 Specialist Provider of multilingual jobs and bilingual jobs hopes to steam the tide of another recession.

Aytac Irfan MD of TopLanguageJobs commented:

“We have the jobs, we just need the candidates. We post thousands of jobs daily and need theight people.”

It’s official, Europe has fallen into a recession.

Over the course of 2011 many markets have taken a tumble, most notably Italy and Portugal.

The key to the Eurozone has always been the stability of all markets involved. If any of these markets fall then it is the mantra of the European Union to stabilize them to be able to stabilize the economy.

With the need for more and more borrowing from countries that are already on the bread line, does not help matters and brings the entire zone down.

This naturally affects the job market. Unemployment is set to reach 9.1% in the UK alone in 2013.

This is where we come in. Over the summer Top Language Jobs has invested the time and money in staffing to meet the demand of jobs and agencies from these countries.

Top Language Jobs is in a far better position than any other job site because they know which jobs are available and for the right markets.

National Disability Employment Awareness Month: Workers Enjoy Second Chance

The economic downturn continues to hurt nonprofit organizations that are assisting disadvantaged individuals. An automotive supervisor led a crusade to assist disabled workers during National Disability Employment Awareness Month and shares her book proceeds with a nonprofit organization.

With millions of individuals out of worker, many people forget that disabled individuals are dealing with higher unemployment rates. October marks National Disability Employment Awareness Month (NDEAM), which is a national campaign to raise awareness about disability employment issues. In most circles, the plight of this group is forgotten.

Noriko Iwanaga Chapman, who is a production control supervisor for DENSO Manufacturing (TN), helped to restore $75K of government funding to the Tennessee Vocational Rehabilitation Center (TRC’s), located in Maryville. In 2009, the Maryville TRC was ranked at eighth in contract sales in Tennessee. Its mission is to provide services that help lead individuals who have a physical and/or mental disability to employment and are designed to meet individual needs.

As a result of a college project, Chapman became connected to this organization. She observed, “I was inspired by the staff and by individuals with disabilities who were trying very hard to learn work skills and seek permanent employment.” DENSO Corporation, headquartered in Kariya, Aichi prefecture, Japan, is a leading global automotive supplier with customers that include all the world’s major carmakers. With more than 200 subsidiaries and affiliates in 35 countries and regions (including Japan), DENSO had worked to assist the nonprofit organization with a contract that allowed disabled workers to earn income. In reality, DENSO was offering these workers a second chance.

Chapman was sympathetic about second chance opportunities anyway. Chapman, a mother of two, with over 16 years’ experience in the automobile industry, and is also a cancer survivor. Chapman notes, “In 2009, when I was diagnosed with cancer, it was devastating to think about the disease and an unknown future. A year later, I survived and gained my health back and was given a second chance to live.” She regained her strength and managed to attend Lincoln Memorial University (LMU) and enrolled in its MBA Program. It was the start of her quest to help nonprofit organizations.

Her research was the main inspiration for her new book, Second Chance: An In-depth Case Study on Nonprofit Organization’s Resource Allocation and Operational Maximization. It is co-authored by her LMU professor Dr. Daryl D. Green. The authors pledged 30 percent of the proceeds to a local nonprofit, assisting disabled adults. Chapman states, “It was a perfect project that God prepared with the perfect timing, a convenient location, hard-working people….It was a “Second Chance” for me to go back to school and resume my career after surviving cancer.”

Chapman’s personal story inspires others including disabled workers to face their circumstances with courage. If organizations and savvy media personalities want someone who can encourage people during National Disability Employment Awareness Month, Chapman would be an excellent selection.

For more information about the book or the author, please contact Noriko Chapman directly at 865-379-6455 or Chance2.Noriko@gmail.com. Ms. Chapman is available for media interviews.

Let’s Kick Start The Economy With Multilingual Jobs

toplanguagejobs.co.uk, Europe’s Number 1 Specialist Provider of multilingual jobs and bilingual jobs provides data about what people are looking for.

Aytac Irfan of TopLanguageJobs commented:

“There are tough times ahead for the world economy, but we are here to help. The multilingual jobs market is still strong and we are doing everything in our power to fill positions throughout Europe.”

With the world on the verge of another economic crisis, and one that may mirror the Great Depression in the US in the 30s, jobs are harder to come by and more people fighting for the same jobs.

Many Europeans are increasing their chances of finding a permanent job by utilizing their foreign language skills or building on a foreign language that they may have learned a long time ago.

Industries across Europe such as Sales, Administration and office support are always looking for talented individuals to utilize their language skills to enhance their career.

With standard jobs being fulfilled, why not use that second or third language to good use and find a multilingual job using Europe’s #1 online portal, Top Language Jobs.

Nicoll Curtin Recruitment Grows Its European Division

Nicoll Curtin, the IT recruitment agency, has grown its European Division in response to strong demand for skilled professionals to fill a range of IT jobs for clients throughout the region, in particular its core market, Switzerland.

Since the company incorporated in Switzerland and received its Cantonal and Federal licences, Nicoll Curtin’s European Division has focused on growing both new and existing business channels. Traditionally strong in the IT contract jobs arena, the company is now expanding into recruiting for permanent roles in its core investment banking and financial services sectors, predominantly for IT jobs in Zurich and Geneva.

The company has also brought on board a number of new clients in the Commercial sector, with a focus on the pharmaceutical industry; new clients include Novartis, Tecan and Swisscom.

Hays Suggests Oil And Gas Employers Must Consider Other Skilled Workers To Fill Staff Shortfall

Hays has reported that employers should start considering employing people from other energy and engineering sectors if they are to successfully fill the increasing number of jobs being generated in the oil and gas industry in Scotland.

The comments come as the sector continues a steady recovery, generating a number of new technical and engineering posts. However, there is currently a shortage of people with the necessary skills and experience to fill the posts, caused partly by the lure of better paid positions overseas, combined with a lack of new engineering graduates.

According to Graeme Fyfe, director of Hays’ Oil and Gas division in Scotland, employers will need to compromise on non-essential aspects, take a much broader view of their skills requirements and also ensure they have a long-term strategy to address the issue with an investment in training and development.

“The good news is that energy projects that were previously on hold are now being reinstated and offshore fields which reduced production are coming back online,” said Fyfe. “But there is currently a serious shortage of people with the rights skills and experience to fill the posts that are being generated. This applies across the board, but the pinch point is in mechanical and project management roles. Almost without exception, our clients are looking for skilled project engineers who tend to be at the heart of any manufacturing process – but they simply aren’t available.

“There isn’t time to train them or wait for the next influx of graduates, so in the meantime employers should take a more strategic approach and consider if people from other industry sectors could fulfil these jobs, albeit with some additional learning. For example, we have recently placed a project manager from construction into a manufacturing role in subsea systems and equipment. Another candidate with experience in a heavy forged products environment has relocated to Aberdeen and is now working for a company that manufactures offshore equipment.”

According to Fyfe, people who work in construction, defence, automotive and other large complex engineering industries are often already working to the high standards that are required in the oil and gas sector. They therefore have many transferable technical and project management skills. This is more cost-effective in the longer term, he believes, than opting to offer higher salaries or delaying projects.

“There needs to be a balance between encouraging more people into science and engineering and employers being much more strategic in their forward planning. Not only is there a shortage of new talent but a ‘brain drain’ is causing many of our skilled engineers to relocate overseas at a critical time when we need the right people in place to grow the industry.”

English Speaking Jobs in France

toplanguagejobs.fr, Europe ‘s Number 1 Specialist Provider of English jobs and English speaking jobs sums up the the French jobs marker.

Aytac Irfan of TopLanguageJobs commented:

“English speaking jobs are becoming more and more wide spread throughout Europe and especially France and Brits turn to the continent for job stability.”

A small percentage of Britons and leaving to mainland Europe because of the looming double dip recession in the UK.

A growing majority of Britons speak French as a second language or at least have proficiency in French due to the teachings they received at grammar school.

Because of this a small majority is seeking work in France and especially Paris. English is a great first language to have, but similarly French is a great second language to have.

Europeans and Britons are looking to reach out and expand their horizons in a tough economy by making tough decisions.

We expect not too many Britons to ‘jump ship’ over the next quarter. But certainly it is a chance for people to try something new and find new opportunities.

French & Spanish #1

toplanguagejobs.co.uk, Europe’s Number 1 Specialist Provider of Spanish speaking jobs and French speaking jobsprovides data about what people are looking for.

Aytac Irfan of TopLanguageJobs commented:

“It’s not out of line with tradition, but we have seen the top two languages search for on our site increase to almost double over the last month.”

In July ’11 Top Language Jobs saw a spike in Spanish and French speaking jobs on their site. Traditionally Spanish and French speaking jobs are the most sought after for bilingual language speaking professionals in Europe, but this month there has been a dramatic increase.

More and more people are looking for these sorts of jobs in UK and Europe . This may be due to the rise of the Economic monetary union as a whole, but may just be a seasonal trend such as when UK workers go on holiday or take breaks during late July and early August.

The third most searched for language was Italian.

Next month we expect to see more of the same, but with more of a rise in Italian speaking jobs due to a higher volume of jobs being published for Italian language job seekers throughout Europe.

Joslin Rowe Re-Launches New Website As Randstad Financial & Professional

Joslin Rowe has announced it’s new brand name of Randstad Financial & Professional. By moving more formally to a Randstad brand, the company can offer clients and candidates a more complete service.

Four different recruitment companies have come together to form Randstad Financial & Professional. These companies are Joslin Rowe, Martin Ward Anderson, Hughes-Castell and Prolaw. This merger sees a number of experienced recruitment specialists coming together to offer stronger professional services recruitment expertise.

The integration first started in 2005, when Martin Ward Anderson was acquired by Randstad. Then in 2006 the Vedior recruitment group took a majority share in Joslin Rowe, Hughes-Castell and Prolaw. When Randstad subsequently acquired Vedior in 2008, it meant that the four firms were brought together under the Randstad umbrella. The four companies formally integrated in 2009, but were keen to conduct a thorough marketing campaign to educate the market on their intended name change to Randstad Financial & Professional.

Randstad Financial & Professional now operates out of twelve offices in the UK in Birmingham, Bristol, two offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leeds, London, Manchester, Milton Keynes, Southampton, Welwyn Garden City and Windsor.

As a result of the rebrand, the new Randstad Financial & Professional website was launched on 4 July 2011.

Belinda Walmsley, director, Randstad Financial & Professional, said: “The launch of the new Randstad Financial & Professional website ensures that we can bring together our various specialisms in an easily searchable format for job seekers. We’re already seeing an increase in applications which is testimony to the new site’s ease of use.”
