December 2017
The whole of 2017 has seen a steady demand for staff from most areas apart from some of the Big 4.
However, mid-sized and boutique consultancies have taken advantage of the uncertainty of the those that have chosen to put hiring further down their priority list and have been able to attract the better talent without having to compete against a big name or two. All very positive for the market as a whole. January 2018 is going to be a very busy period in the talent world.
Demand for the best people will always be high but it's becoming increasingly clear that 'influence and brand' is now more important that just knowing who.
Talent Strategy & Advisory
Talent Strategy & Advisory man-hours are on the increase which is broadly in line with our predictions. We have broken down where the demand is being created right now instead of just reporting this area of consultancy as single element
Talent Strategy & Advisory
Talent Strategy is always going to be research-led but the massive increase in research man-days in the last quarter of the year confirms that the larger firms aren't the only people benefiting from these types of insights.
WHY ARE PEOPLE CHANGING JOBS IN MANAGEMENT CONSULTING?
The order of the reasons hasn't changed much since last quarter's review but the point of interest is that 'more money' is now higher than the last survey, which was 9% higher than the survey before. The graphic below shows the reasons people state when changing jobs (or looking to change jobs). 92% of people provided multiple reasons.
We have more in-depth information relating to reasons for moving but we have kept this to the headlines for the sake of brevity. Please contact your account manager or one of the Directors of the firm for more specific data.
