There is a significant shortage of high level skills in Africa, especially with the additional skills required around the ongoing discoveries of natural resources, the growing populations, the related infrastructure demand and the growing Global Market demand for the mineral resources and wealth that lies beneath the African soil.
Finding the right people, with the right skills, is critical to the success of companies working in these emerging markets and due to the shortage of these skills in Africa, successful companies need to work with an agency that can source top talent from anywhere in the world.
