Latest data shows that the majority of employers are finding that they’re receiving applications from those who have either reskilled or come from different industries.
The Reed.co.uk research revealed that despite the fact they’ve currently got a much wider range of talent to choose from, many are still being inflexible when it comes to recruiting. For example, as many as 60% of hirers believe that a university education is vital for candidates.
Simon Wingate, Managing Director of Reed.co.uk, commented on the findings, “In 2021, the UK economy started its long road to recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic. Shops and restaurants reopened, we pulled ourselves out of a recession and now we are in the middle of a jobs boom where there are more opportunities than ever.”

“It’s encouraging to see that many workers are already learning new skills to improve their career opportunities. However, employers should be more flexible when it comes to hiring, by looking at workers who haven’t got qualifications but who are willing to learn and have useful transferable skills for a modern working environment.”
