Places are rated hard to fill due to responses such as recruiting migrant workers, hiring apprentices and upskilling the existing workforce which had a higher proportion of 16% in the public sector. The public secor has recently been leaning towards young graduates to fill in vacancies but may have a hard time attracting graduates as four out of ten employers have seen cuts in training budgets over past two years.
Overall, CIPD predicts that the labour trend will continue to strengthen in last few months of 2015 and difficulties with recruitment will increase but moderately as employers aim to recruit graduates and train workers to aid the labour supply.
1.2 Brunei Darussalam
Brunei Darussalam is a country located on the north- west coast of Borneo. The workforce (total of 204,800 in 2011) in Brunei Darussalam is heavily populated in the public sector (about three-quarters), mostly with locals. The employment rate of adults is 63.3%. Migrant workers mostly work in the private sector of about the same proportion as locals in the public sector.
Jobs in the public sector are quite limited as a lot of people are applying to work in the government due to the fringe benefits, therefore, selection is quite tight due to limitations in places but in 2011, the unemployment rate in Brunei decreased from 9.3% to 6.9%. Some locals work in the private sector, temporarily, to wait out vacancies in the government sector which will contribute to unemployment. It is predicted

More businesses are now adding new strategies to their recruitment process. An example is, companies new reduction plans have been starting and according to the Governor Cuomo “These polices will not only lift up the current generation of low-wage workers and their families, but ensure fairness for future generations and enable them to climb the ladder of opportunity. I am proud to sign these programs into law, because they will ensure a stronger and brighter future for all New Yorkers”. The new employment laws are expected to cause a ripple effect across the nation, pressuring on employers' practices and soon dismissing the unskilled. Politicians raising the state’s minimum wage as high as the median wage, will lead businesses in a state of raising the salaries of half of those employed, or else take measures to trim the number of employees on the payroll. Hence, more employment qualities will most likely be improved, leaving uneducated people at the bottom of the list according to an article published by USA Today for the 5th of April

The economic environment in nowadays dynamic, it is fairly important for organisations and managers to recognise the curtail of Human Resource Management. It is clear that Human Resource Management (HRM) has become one of the most recommend management strategy in the modern business (Leopold and Harris, 2009). Human Resource Management is a technique process of managing people in the workplace to enable and enhance organization performance (Leopold and Harris, 2009).

Abstract: Human Resource Management is fast gaining popularity and its importance is becoming unavoidable, this is due to the fact that Human Resource Management plays a huge role in the growth of any company irrespective of its size.

Organizations have always been concerned about attracting and selecting the "right types" of employees (e.g., Schneider, 1976 & 1987). However, the relative attention paid to attracting, versus screening, new employees depends on many factors such as the relative attractiveness of the vacancy and the general state of the labor market (Guion, 1976; Rynes, in press). In the latter regard, demographic developments such as the baby bust and the leveling off of female labor force participation rates suggest that widespread labor shonages will develop and persist well into the twenty-first century. Along with these trends, demographers predict an
An additional factor that affects labor demand is the current labor union contract that requires the department to provide opportunity to promote from within. Between vacancies left behind from retirement and promotion changes, it has been noted that approximately one quarter of the current force will need to be replaced. These three factors increase demand for a large number of new recruits in this department.
This is a strong factor for an organisation at the moment when trying to attract and recruit talent into a business. The unemployment rate in 2012 has grown significantly; however, even though quantity of applications has increased when recruiting, the quality has decreased. I feel this is based largely around the current economic climate. A lot of ‘skilled and talented’ individuals appear to be staying in their current roles for job security, which is causing a huge skills gap for
The education sector plays a pivotal role in supplying trained and credentialed candidates to the global labour market. This role will amplify in importance as the demand for medium to high skill workers rises.
