In January 2017, we shared findings from a survey which captured predictions on development recruiting so you can plan for the year and see how your own opinions stack up against those of other development organizations. Here's a snapshot of the findings:
- Afghanistan, Burma, Iraq, Bangladesh, Congo, Haiti, Liberia, Mali, Mongolia, and Mozambique were listed as the 10 countries most difficult for making local hires
- 86% of respondents said that home hires would stay the same or increase in 2016
- When asked what was the most important skill (regardless of sector) for a development professional to remain competitive in the hiring landscape, capacity building was ranked #1 by a 25% margin
- M&E, Health, Energy/Environment/Natural Resources, Project Management, and Law/Human Rights/Governance were listed as the top 5 sectors for new hiring
