Recruitment trends

A most interesting read in the Guide to Recruitment Consultancies brochure that fell out of People Management magazine this week.  It seems the trend across recruitment is 'characterised by an ongoing skills shortage, where demand would continue to outweigh supply'.  The article goes on to introduce some [new to me] recruitment terms.  How about gazumping (or buy-backs) which means a willingness to make a counter-offer to high performers who wish to leave an organisation.  The article then quotes additional research which concludes that students are promiscuous when it comes to keeping their job options open. 

I couldn't find this article online yet, but there is almost always something worth reading in the online version of the magazine.
