The finance and accounting sectors top the list of areas where employers are concerned about a lack of available talent, a new survey has found. A poll of 141 human resources executives by the Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC) found that 39 per cent expressed a concern about this area, followed by IT and Marketing and PR at 36 per cent each, onrec.com reports. The findings suggest firms in the finance sector may have to compete harder for the best candidates, a situation which may favour graduates seeking a career in this sector of the economy. AESC president Peter Felix said: "We are in the early stages of a major talent shortage that is set to continue for the next ten to 15 years," adding that some companies were already facing a challenge to replace their leaders and that the future trend was likely to be this way due to the retirement of so many baby-boomers. Barclays Bank launched a programme to recruit business school graduates to its global retail and commercial banking arm earlier this year, the Financial Times reported earlier this month.
