The skills employers are asking us for right now
What our consultants hear most often from hiring managers across our markets.
1 Sept 2026
Across healthcare, logistics, technology and finance, a few themes come up again and again when we talk to employers.
Digital confidence
Not just for tech roles. Warehouse, retail and admin positions increasingly expect comfort with scanners, apps and spreadsheets.
Reliability and communication
Turning up, keeping people informed and working well in a team remain the qualities hiring managers rate most highly.
Certifications that prove it
Short, recognised courses in areas like health and safety, first aid or specific software can tip a decision in your favour.
