Certain skills are emerging as in demand based on vacancy activity, according to the July to December “Hays Jobs Report.”
The report revealed that 47% of employers expect to hire more permanent staff, while 22% expect to increase use of temporary and contract staff. According to the “2018-19 Hays Salary Guide,” 24% of employers already use temporary and contract staff, up one percentage point from last year.
These are the most in-demand lawyers and skills, according to Hays:
Two thirds of employers will give in-house legal professionals a pay raise of less than 3% in their next review. About a tenth will not increase salaries. A fifth intend to give staff 3% to 6% salary increases. Only 6% of employers will give increases of 6% or more.
