2019 is set to be a ‘buyers’ market’ for the UK’s top professionals, as the nation’s war for talent intensifies.

New research¹ from Robert Half UK reveals employers currently face a talent dilemma, where they must look to plug a widening skills gap in the race to adapt to an increasingly digitalised business landscape. Nearly a third (32%) of over 1,200 UK employees surveyed believe their skillset will be more desirable over the coming months – even against the current economic and political climate – as the supply/demand imbalance of the UK’s top talent heightens.
