‘The crisis, the war for talents, will be amplified in 2018. There are industries where the specialists are few, there are industries which develop very quickly so that the market can’t cope with them. The war is not only at the level of management, but at the level of entry and specialists. Why? The market is not very educated from the point of view of human resources, generation Y is a difficult, hard to get loyal, very interested in the online environment generation’ stated in the Barometre TrainYour Brain&Frames,  Loreda Dragomir, country manager Romania and Bulgaria Kienbaum, the leader of the market of executive search in Germany.

Another conclusion which is evident from the semester barometer regarding the perspectives of the market of workforce is that 2018 will be one when the work offers will be diversified on the market of services and there will be not enough a good salary to hire a professional.

‘Asked which will be the main advantages which will make the difference between the offers of the companies in 2018, 68% of the interviewed mentioned the salary package, 54% spoke about the solidity of the company, and 40% indicated supplementary services at the disposal of the employees (trainings, event participations, etc.).The flexibility of the working programme (23%) and the possibility for development and professiona promotion (19%) were on the list of the most important advantages mentioned by the business people and HR experts’ the press release says.
