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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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.

Let’s Kick Start The Economy With Multilingual Jobs

Leave a comment

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.

How To Keep Your Career Moving

Leave a comment

A career is not something that happens to you from out of nowhere. It is not served to you on a silver platter. It is something that you build through years of doing what you love doing. It is a product of preparation and careful planning. To many people, it is what defines their existence.

Some people make several career changes in their lifetime. This sometimes works, especially if you are looking for a better position and higher pay. But the risk here is that you might make a wrong turn and end up with nothing. When this happens, you find yourself starting all over again.

Career changes can be avoided if early on you have already decided what career to pursue. Preparing early for a career gives you a lot of time to make some detours and commit some mistakes, if it has to come to that, with still plenty of years ahead to spare.

And once you have chosen a career, you have to work real hard to strengthen and advance it. Here are some tips that you can follow to keep your career going.

Get yourself a mentor. You have to accept the fact that you can’t possibly learn everything by yourself. Be humble enough to admit that you need a mentor, somebody who can guide you in your career. This person could be somebody who has survived the challenges in his career and passed life’s many tests with flying colors. A mentor hands over to you the tricks of the trade and the secrets to his success.

Have a role model. This is different from a mentor in the sense that you don’t seek advice from a role model. A role model is one whose qualities as a person you want to have for yourself. It may be the way he carries himself in the office, the way he dresses up, the way he speaks and gets along with others. He must be somebody who occupies a higher position than yours.

Learn new skills. Do not stagnate in where you are now. There is always something new to learn in your field of work. Take advantage of the trainings, workshops and seminars your company provides to employees. Keep on researching about your career. The Internet is a good source of learning what’s new in your field of work.

Do networking. Become a member of networking organizations in your area. Groups like the National Association of Professional Women ( NAPW ) offer their members all sorts of activities to help them grow in their career.

Nicoll Curtin Recruitment Grows Its European Division

Leave a comment

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.

To ensure the team is able to fully service the requirements of these new clients, Nicoll Curtin has taken on two additional bilingual recruiters. Fahad Ansari, Head of the European Division, said:-

‘Despite the economic situation, our experience is that demand is still strong in Europe, and particularly in Switzerland, for skilled technologists across banking, financial services and other private sector industries. We are working on a wide range of roles across the IT spectrum, including development jobs, business analyst jobs, infrastructure jobs and project management roles at all levels. This is the first phase in our growth strategy, and we will be making further additions to the team as we continue to grow both our permanent and Commercial offerings.’

Established in 1999, Nicoll Curtin recruitment specialises in sourcing high calibre candidates for IT contract jobs and permanent IT roles in the banking, financial services and commercial sectors. The company’s clients include a range of market leading global organisations in the UK, Europe and Singapore.

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

Leave a comment

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.”

A Country In Demand

Leave a comment

toplanguagejobs.de, Europe’s Number 1 Specialist Provider of Finnisch jobs & Call center jobs Berlin discusses how one region is booming.

Aytac Irfan of TopLanguageJobs commented:

“In the Eurozone Germany is the country with all the cash and jobs and rightly so.”

Over the last couple of month we’ve seen that Germany is the country that is setting the standards within the Eurozone.

Today it was announced that Germany is going reluctantly going to provide the majority of the fund to get Greece out of immediate turmoil, again.

Germans seem to be using a vast range of skills to fulfill a wide variety of jobs. Language jobs in particular are on the rise and also in major population zones in Germany. Berlin is seen as the epicenter for this rise with many more jobs being created.

Germany is certainly leading the way in the Eurozone with the production of more GDP per capita than any other country in the Eurozone.

The Uses of Leadership Tests and Management Training

Leave a comment

The biggest complaint about most management training efforts is that they are not measurable or quantifiable. There is often no way to know if an organization is creating effective leaders or not. Indeed all that often happens after many such efforts is that the people in the classes fade back into the company and disappear.

This can be avoided by applying effective leadership tests. Leadership testing involves identify potential leaders and surveying those who have taken the leadership training to see if it is effective. One of the best tests is to see the graduates of past management training efforts have actually taken on management roles.

Another is to survey them and see if they are actually putting the techniques, strategies and skills they learned in the training sessions to work. At the same time you can ask if those methods actually work or not and what results they have achieved in the real world.

If no discernable effect is detected you can assume that the training efforts have failed. If the results are negative you can also assume that you have failed. Yet you may also determine that some techniques work and some don’t.

This way you can decide which techniques are appropriate and which are not. In some cases, you may learn that only part of your training has actually worked. In others you may see that it has come close and failed. You might also learn which training is appropriate to your organization and its people or not.

A final leadership test that you can apply is to do an employ survey asking what leadership or management skills are lacking in your organization you might be surprised. You might learn that managers are not communicating with workers or that managers are unsure of what to do.

Once you do that you can redesign your training efforts in order to produce the results that you actually want.

English Speaking Jobs in France

Leave a comment

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.

Management Training Encouraged in order to Jumpstart Future Leaders

Leave a comment

Management training is seen by business owners as the best way to develop young stalwarts that show promise into fitting leaders for tomorrow.

Any good and responsible workplace knows the value of a few good leaders. There is a standard notion that says only a few good leaders are ever really born. With this idea in mind, management training has then been developed to make leaders instead of waiting for them to be born into this world. More and more corporations are beginning to realize the benefits of investing in a good management training program.

Good leaders come and go and to keep an organization running smoothly, there must be someone waiting in line to become the next big thing. Experts agree that it is better to train someone who is already immersed in the office culture or has been a long-term employee than taking a risk with someone completely new. It is also relatively cheaper to train an existing employee than to hire a brand new one for top management position.

Other benefits of sending an existing employee to management training include: loyalty on the part of the employee to the company, a solid foundation built on trust between the company and the employee and lesser risk over-all. If a company is looking to build someone up to be its next manager or supervisor, it is best to do a company evaluation to find out if anyone on their payroll is a good fit or shows promise.

Qualities top executives must look for in finding an individual to train are: competence in work and habits, good moral conduct and standing, an honest and open behavior, dedication to the job, a willingness to learn, enthusiasm and good energies. These are some basic qualities that a young leader must possess that would make him fit to undergo management training. A good management training program will sharpen one’s skills and make him fit to be a future leader.

Some early management training can already be done by supervisors upon spotting a rare bird in the flock. By way of mentoring, inspiring and teaching this person, older and more experienced employees are already building up his confidence and bringing out the spirit of a leader in him. It always pays to find time to set promising leaders aside and mentoring them. Any workplace can benefit from a true leader and the effects can be beyond imagination.

Employee Surveys Encourage Leaders to Put Their Best Foot Forward

Leave a comment

One of the most important things about being a leader is being able to take honest feedback through employee surveys. While opening up oneself to the criticism and judgment of others is no small feat, it is essential in improving one’s growth as a leader.

A leader may strive to have all the qualities expected of him in order to set a good example in the workplace. He may be inspiring, challenging and he may possess a good humor. He may be punctual, sets meetings at the right time and he may delegate tasks well. In his mind he may be living up to the best of his abilities and to the expectations of his colleagues and subordinates. But this is only in his mind.

A good leader is willing to open himself up to the criticism of those around him, especially those that he works with. Employee surveys are one way to gauge the true effectiveness of a boss or manager. They are questionnaires usually given out at different intervals of a fiscal year. Everyone from the delivery man up to the accountants and the top sales manager are required to fill in a survey that may pertain to a particular person holding a position of management.

Do keep in mind that these employee surveys are in no way meant to attack a person’s character. The questions that are normally listed down on these have to do with the abilities and qualities of the said person in relation to the workplace. Most of the questions serve to examine whether he is in conduct with the workplace code and employee handbook. There will also be queries on whether he is performing his tasks well or living up to his job title. These questionnaires are usually fuss-free and should be done in an hour or less.

A survey conducted on the effectiveness of employee surveys showed that companies that have integrated these into their development strategies have seen a marked difference in their top management’s performance. The rationale behind this is individuals tend to perform better when they know that they will be evaluated afterwards. It is also the concept that makes shows reality shows very compelling to watch. As the contestants know they are being watched, they tend to put on their best foot forward

All in all, employee surveys should be given a chance by all workplace environments looking for an increase in office productivity and top level management performance.

Swedish Jobs Rise For The Third Year In A Row

Aytac Irfan of TopLanguageJobs commented:

“For the third year running Swedish jobs and jobs in Sweden have grown due to foreign investment. This is fantastic for Sweden and foreign Swedish language job seekers.”

For the last three years Sweden has been at the forefront of investment from the European Union and overseas.

This is due to an overwhelming demand for Swedish professionals and Swedish foreign language speakers. This has been apparent throughout the rest of Europe and jobs for Swedish language speaking professionals have grown for yet another year.

The success of Swedish language speaking professionals and job in Sweden is due to a system which the Swedish government has in place.

Well done to Sweden, let’s hope that some other countries can follow suit.

How to Achieve Success

Leave a comment

The good news is that there is no secret formula or magical key to success. Anybody can learn how to achieve success by developing such personal qualities as persistence, strength, high moral values and hard work.

Persistence or tenacity could be the most important ingredient in success. Most successful women achieve their goals not because they are the smartest or the most capable but because they simply did not giving up. In many cases, all that is required for success is to stay in the game.

Quite a few women do not develop this quality – instead they get discouraged and loose their motivation. This occurs because these women do not have any successful role models. It is very easy to get discouraged and frustrated when you go it alone.

Therefore one of the best ways to learn how to achieve success is to spend time around successful women. Simply seeing and talking to others who have achieved their goals and overcome obstacles can motivate you to stay in the game.

Networking for Success
Organizations like the National Association of Professional Women, community groups, business groups and alumni associations are a great place to meet other successful women. They are also a good refuge from a male dominated business environment.

French & Spanish #1

Leave a comment

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

Leave a comment

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.”

Client Uncertainty Holds Back Growth

Leave a comment

toplanguagejobs.nl Europe ‘s Number 1 Specialist Provider of Spaanse vacatures and English jobs talks about how they have seen an increase in the last month.

Aytac Irfan of TopLanguageJobs commented: “The Netherlands is facing a unique issue where clients are uncertain about making large business decisions due to the fallback that may occur as a result. This is slowing the economy in not only Netherlands but in Europe .”

Clients are hesitating to buy and as a result the economy is growing, but a lot more slowly than it should. Companies such as Randstad Holding NV whose business is dependant on a high up turn, as are a lot of other companies, says that its growth is being held back and expects ‘Single-digit growth in staffing sales.’

In other industries KPN reported results down across Dutch activities in a number of areas in the second quarter. With their revenues falling by 3.7% with an underlying drop of 2.2 percent, some companies can only be so lucky.

In Rotterdam it’s a different story, companies are more focused on ‘Satisfied employees = better work’ and how conditions could act as the catalyst to get people back into work who may have become complacent over the months and years.

“Down time,” says Bakker, “is not only a mark of sympathetic management. It helps renew workers, keeping them happy, productive and engaged,” which in turn results in a virtuous cycle of work engagement, job satisfaction and higher productivity.

We can only hope that the Netherlands and the organizations lose their hesitancy and spark a revival that crosses borders into neighboring larger economies to get Europe going again.
