✨ #Warsaw is a magnet for #talent from all over the world, as the economic climate is favourable for locating investments in the Polish capital and building a base of organisations to operate both locally and in the CEE region. Thus, not only is there an increased demand for talent from various fields of specialization, but also for talent with knowledge of multiple foreign languages. An additional advantage is the development opportunities offered, not only related to the high level of Polish universities, but also to the efforts of employers to improve the skillsets of their employees.😊🚀
👉 Perfect match: Foreign talent respond to Warsaw employers’ needs
According to data from the #WorldEconomicForum 'Future of Jobs Report', skills rated by employers as key primarily include:
✔️ analytical thinking,
✔️ creative thinking,
✔️ resilience and flexibility in the face of social and business dynamics,
✔️ motivation and self-awareness,
✔️ readiness for continuous learning and knowledge of technology.
Organisations are simultaneously signalling steadily increasing demand in these areas, while #skills are in short supply in the #labourmarket. Such trends, also evident in organisations operating in Warsaw, are becoming an opportunity for many foreign talent with desirable yet scarce skills. At the same time, it’s also an opportunity for people who haven’t yet developed these skills, but have a solid foundation based on their predispositions, past professional experience, but also motivation and ambition. 👍
👉 Skills are not always mandatory. Polish employers value predispositions, motivation and ambition
We are already seeing a growing trend among modern organisations to move away from traditional recruitment standards. We are in the midst of a #transformation, at a time when #recruitment efforts primarily take into account the skills that a person possesses, acquired during their education and career, regardless of the sector in which they have worked. 👌
The #shortageoftalent in the Polish labour market, especially those with specialised skills, such as technical, engineering or IT skills, is shaping acompanies’ new approach. Organisations are more and more often analysing a broader range of information on talent – learning about their natural predispositions and set of acquired skills that allows them to #reskill and #upskill. They also evaluate candidates’ potential for learning, adaptation and growth. 💫
If you want to learn more how companies value predispositions, motivation and ambition of candidates, we invite you to read the text 'City of professional development: employers in Warsaw focus on full talent potential, not just skills' by Mateusz Żydek from Randstad Polska. This is one of the articles of an expert publication by Warsaw and partners on talent and the labour market in the capital of Poland.
