We don't have a skills gap. We have a thinking gap.
In a recent survey, 95% of over 4,700 fully-employed and passive candidates said they'd be willing to have a serious discussion about a better career opportunity. Another smaller survey earlier this year indicated that more than 75% of these same people would take a modest increase in compensation for a significant career move. Unfortunately, it’s hard to ever have the discussion, since recruiters and candidates alike both establish inflexible conditions (e.g., compensation, title, company, location, skills) before the serious career discussion can ever begin.
