Job market is on an upswing.

This survey was conducted in December 2013 and received 508 responses worldwide, including 50% from the Americas, 37% from EMEA and 13% from Asia Pacific.

2014 Job Market Outlook

The 2014 Outlook shows that the majority (51%) of our recruiters worldwide share a positive outlook regarding the global job market in 2014—up 15% compared to the 2013 outlook. Only 13% of the surveyed harbor a negative view of the job market for 2014.

2014 Business Outlook

Sixty percent share a positive impression of the general business climate for 2014—up 18% over 2013. Only 9% of the surveyed harbor a negative view of the general business climate for 2014.

2014 Outlook by Region

Numerous markets, including Canada (92%), China (78%) and Germany (70%), are reporting an extremely positive outlook on the job market for 2014. These results show a dramatic regional shift in many attitudes about the job market from 2013 to 2014. In 2013, India had the most positive regional outlook (73%). Though India still has a very positive outlook for 2014 (63%), it does not rank in the top three markets. In some markets people harbored a more negative outlook than most. In Australia/New Zealand, 50% stated that they have a negative outlook on the job market. Africa (33%) and ASEAN (31%) also have a less positive outlook than the majority of respondents. 

Mobility - Making a Career Move in 2014

With such a big change in the global outlook, it’s not surprising that 74% of the people are being more willing to make a career move in 2014 than in 2013, while 87% plan to at least look for a new opportunity this year. 

Compensation in 2014

53% of the respondents expected their compensation to increase in 2014, while 39% expected their compensation to stay the same in 2014 as in 2013. Only 8% expected their total compensation to decrease in 2014.

The Global War for Talent 

The survey predicts the greatest talent shortages to occur in the United States, China and the Middle East during 2014. The survey also predicts the greatest talent shortage to occur in the technology/telecoms sector, followed by healthcare/life sciences and energy/natural resources.
