Lack of Young Talent in Life Sciences is Worrying Mature workers greatly outnumber newer employees in the UK life sciences sector – which could possibly lead to a shortage of essential skills, according to a new survey. Figures by Cogent Skills from the national Labor Force Survey in the past 12 months show that in life sciences, there are 28% more employees aged 40-64 than 16-40.

Employee Engagement has a Major Affect on Business Research conducted by gallup.com showed that 15% of workers in Germany are disengaged in their jobs. A more worrying report by Gallup reported only 13% of employees are actively engaged in the US. Disengagement is not as simple as saying someone is unhappy at work, disengaged employees take less pride in their work, have less loyalty to their company and take more time off, thus costing businesses billions every year!

Best, Worst and Most Stressful Jobs in the UK? A study conducted by search engine Adzuna.co.uk in September 2013, analysed over 2,000 job titles to highlight the best, worst, most stressful in the UK. Each job title was scored based on 25 different criteria including earning potential, working conditions, competitiveness, unemployment rates and job security. These scores were then combined to produce an overall list of the top 10 best and worst jobs in the UK.



Investing in People to Create Corporate Value Kubo Recruitment sources the best talent available not just the best talent that responds to your advert. Job postings can be effective for certain roles however, they are likely to only reach active candidates. Often the best candidate is the one currently working at a competitors and may not even be looking at current job postings.

The Best People and Your Profitability The best candidates drive corporate revenue, success, and have more impact on a companies top and bottom line. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for! Good candidates will soon pay for themselves. When companies utilize an executive search professional such as Kubo Recruitment to seek out the best talent, the return on investment will be much higher than simply hoping that the person who applies directly will work out.



Finding a New Job Has Changed in the Last 20 Years Technological advances and discrimination laws have dramatically changed the way that people look for a new role. Nowadays there are even apps that allow applicants to scroll through vacancies and receive notifications as new vacancies become available. These apps also make it possible to apply for roles on the move from a smart phone.

Record Number of Job Vacancies in the UK as Unemployment Falls to the Lowest in 6 Years New figures from the Office for National Statistics showed that unemployment fell by 58,000 to 1.91 million between September and November last year. Unemployment hasn't been this low since 2008 when the recession began. This is great news for people looking to start or further their career, not only are there more jobs out there, figures show salaries are rising too.
