Talent War 2
Transcript:
I think there is an intense competition at the moment to hire the most talented and most intellectually able people. There is a time when I think companies have many of the adventures in the world. That involves the companies’ world. It was the bosses’ world. Now I think it reverses the case. We have a shortage in talent base within countries and between countries, have an intense battle between companies to hire the most talented workers and also between countries, which are looking to recruit talented young people, talented young immigrants. We have this sense of immigrants being things that countries are battled to keep out, and immigrants want to get in, climb off the walls. I think the opposite isn’t that the case. And the topic is that countries are trying to lure bright young people to get them to go to universities and get them to become immigrants. So, on many levels, talent is a premium. There is a shortage of talent, and so countries, companies, all sorts of organisations, of course, volunteer organisations as well as, are competing to hire the best and the brightest. You know we have a baby-boom population which is ageing. We have an economy which is becoming more sophisticated. And so, for all those sorts of reasons, talent is a premium.
