Philadelphia – August 24, 2017 – SharedXpertise, publisher of HRO Today, and PeopleScout, a global provider of recruitment process outsourcing (RPO), managed services (MSP) and total workforce solutions, have announced the release of the first quarterly global unemployment report for 2017.
This report allows companies to consult global labor market data about employment rates, economic growth and the state of the talent pool in various countries and regions. It provides access to essential information for predicting high-potential locations for expansion and recruitment, allowing multinational companies to stay competitive in talent acquisition.
“This quarter’s report is showing that global economic growth is projected to accelerate by about 3 percent in 2017,” said Larry Basinait, vice president of market research at SharedXpertise. “Fiscal stimulus in major regions like the United States could generate faster domestic and global growth than projected, however rising trade protection under the Trump administration could have adverse effects.”
“We are pleased to offer this report as a way to aid the decision-making process around talent acquisition and talent management programs,” said Taryn Owen, president of PeopleScout. “Employment rates can vary greatly by region, so incorporating this component of workforce planning is vital to creating a global staffing strategy.”
This study is part of a quarterly series of global labor market data reports. Watch for the report for second quarter 2017 to be published early this fall.
