With an estimated 2 million manufacturing jobs to go unfilled by the year 2025, manufacturers will need to work harder than ever to recruit talent. As the largest generation, millennials offer the best hope to close the talent gap.
In the face of the tightening job market and the growing skills shortage, some manufacturers are now turning to headhunters to recruit qualified candidates.
The anti-trade fervor gripping the West could be about to pose a serious challenge to CEOs fishing for talent.
Securing the best talent and the right talent is top of mind for all CEOs today. But it’s by no means an easy task.
The latest unemployment figures have been announced and, for employees, it’s good news. But for companies, the news is not as positive.
The talent shortage continues to grow, and the U.S. now will need to fill nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs in the coming decade, according to a recent report from Deloitte.

You would probably look for somebody with excellent financial skills and training—preferably in the same, or a similar, industry. But picking senior staff depends on more than vetting skills and track record.
If your company’s failure to attract and retain top talent is keeping you up at night, you’re not alone: This is a leading concern among corporate CEOs, presidents and chairs.
