What managers should expect in terms of recruitment for 2012? The Apec, which surveyed 11,000 companies on their hiring intentions for this year, said Wednesday that "all frames will not be accommodated in the same boat." It emerges quite clearly in fact a two-tier market: on one hand, firms in sectors with high added value should continue to be dynamic in terms of hiring managers. The other, the companies positioned in sectors more exposed to economic conditions, may have to reduce "strongly" the pace of hiring.
This table lackluster and full of questions led APEC to develop two scenarios for hiring managers: "They are between 164,000 and 195,000 executives say that companies want to hire in 2012, a possible evolution between -10 % and 8% from 2011, "explains Pierre Lamblin, Director of the Research department. In 2011, the market for executives has resulted in 181,000 hires, or 17,000 more than in 2010.
For Marie-Francoise Leflon, president of APEC, "the labor market framework is certainly on the edge, but thanks to some sectors driving, fear of a sudden stall recruitment of cadres, as in 2009 (Note, the fall reached 28%), is not appropriate. " Still, the "victims" of this designated market stress management, may well be young graduates in search of the famous "first job", synonymous with employability.
The premium experienced managers
In times of crisis, companies are playing the card of the experience and rely on profiles having between five and ten years experience. According to statistics of APEC, the graduates are currently 30% looking for work eight months after graduation, with significant variations depending on the chosen course (academics having more difficulty than the class of large schools). In total, the recruitment of young graduates could range from 31,000 and 37,000 this year, down from 2 to 18%, depending on changing circumstances.
What are the sectors that will benefit the recruitment of executives this year? Services should hire between 110,000 and 135,000 executives. In this vast industry, IT and telecoms should remain at the forefront of recruiters, with a forecast of 31,000 executives hired, (more than in 2011), while engineering and R & D could generate 26,000 recruitment and management consulting firms, 11,000.
The good would come as surprise to the industry, often criticized for its closures, relocations and his social plans. "The industry has 17% more of recruitments in 2011 and represents 17% of total recruitment of executives. The sector should remain strong this year because of the rail, aerospace and electrical engineering and electronics, "said Pierre Lamblin. Forecasts of recruitment in this sector in 2012 are between 27,000 and 31,000 executives, against 30,000 in 2011. What about the car? This activity represented 2000 recruitment of executives in 2011, but should not exceed 1500 this year.
Side "carry trades", the tradition is followed with two "engines" of the market that will continue to drain the volume of hires: the commercial and the computer. Together, these functions represent as Apec, between 60,000 and 74,000 recruits this year.
