Skills shortages and stagnant salaries drive marketing industry job churn, says recruiter
Modest wage growth is encouraging marketing staff to look for new roles while employers are struggling to find senior staff with the right skills, claims a report from recruiting firm, Perceptor.
The company revealed in its latest annual survey of the job market that recruitment for senior marketers remains tight, but warned juniors increasingly need a digital track record and a stable job history to win new roles.

The skills shortage is fuelled by recruiters who have no idea, who try to speak on specialist topic panels and events
this is a bad comment and you should feel bad about it.
the skills shortage is caused by a lack of investment in hiring, training and retaining entry level and junior talent and then the industry’s lack of vision in importing talent from related fields.
coupled with the net loss of talent to overseas roles, other industries, small business, parenthood etc it means that companies and therefore recruiters, both internal and external have to hire and promote from a smaller talent pool for management and leadership roles
Hhmmm,
Just to note. That comment came from “Hmmm” and not the more respected, articulate and informed commentary from “Hhmmm”.
Find your own voice “Hmmm”.
