/PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN), the world leader in

Experis was recognized for its deep industry expertise and
unique understanding of workforce challenges, and for its
leadership in accelerating the growth of companies by attracting
and assessing highly specialized professionals across the IT,
Finance and Engineering industries by Asian financial publication
Capital Weekly. The prestigious professional talent resourcing
award is the gold standard in recognizing talent recruitment
leaders.
"Experis is at the forefront of sourcing Asian talent to meet
growing demand, connecting hard-to-find talent to businesses that
require their skills," said Lancy
Chui, ManpowerGroup Hong Kong Managing Director. "Talent
shortages are especially acute in the region and talent is more
than just people — it is people with specific skills who help
accelerate business growth. Experis finds the right fit and
continually develops that talent."
Throughout the region, ManpowerGroup's 2012 annual Talent
Shortage Survey found that employers are struggling to fill IT,
Accounting, Finance, and Engineering positions. Engineers are
particularly sought-after in Japan
and IT professionals are proving elusive in Australia, where 81% and 50% of employers
respectively across all industry sectors cannot source workers with
the required skills.
ManpowerGroup's research revealed that over a third of
Asia-Pacific employers (35%) cited
a lack of available applicants or no applicants as the reason for
their difficulty in filling jobs, 29% blamed a lack of technical
competencies and 28% pointed to a lack of employability skills. In
the Human Age, where talent is the new "it," there is nevertheless
a growing mismatch between the skills available and the specific
skills required by employers.
This scarcity of talent in the region will only increase as the
region's economies grow; ManpowerGroup has anticipated these
challenges by evolving its professional resourcing and
project-based workforce solutions organizations in five of
Asia-Pacific operations —
Australia, China, Hong
Kong, India and
Japan — to Experis. Consisting of
expert recruiters recruiting experts in their field, Experis
attracts the best professional candidates that allow businesses to
flourish.
