Sales and marketing skills most in demand in Europe

People with sales and marketing skills are in the highest demand by European companies, according to a European survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting released today. The survey of more than 430 companies in Europe, mostly multinationals, found that 23% of organisations were particularly looking for sales and marketing candidates compared to just 7% who were seeking to recruit in-house human resource professionals. Engineering and information technology skills were found to be in demand by 16% and 15% of organisations respectively, while employees in operations and those with global business experience were placed at the top of the list by 14% of organisations respectively.

Only 11% reported that people in finance and administration were in greatest demand.
