Tech Skills MOT for Your Workforce

HOW IT WORKS

Closing the tech skills gap – what measures should you be taking?

Whether you’re struggling with a limited budget, identifying the right talent, candidate attraction, staff retention, or upskilling your team – just to name a few of the possible factors that could be worsening your skills shortages – this tool will provide you with customised advice and tangible solutions. 

Complete this assessment to get your Tech Skills MOT for Your Workforce. It will take approximately 10 minutes.

After completing the survey, you’ll receive an overall rating. Our experts will then provide tailored recommendations to help you reach your goals. This report is designed to help you understand your current strategies to achieve industry best practices.

The information you provide will remain confidential and will not be shared with any third parties.

As a general guide, here’s what each level means:

A: BASIC CAPABILITY
You’re struggling to overcome tech skills shortages within your workforce.

B: INTERMEDIATE CAPABILITY
Your strategies for mitigating tech skills shortages are consistent and standardised, but not yet optimised.

C: ADVANCED CAPABILITY

Question 1 of 12

SPEED TO HIRE

Activity: Hiring the right technology talent in a timely manner

1. Please select the statement that best describes Your current situation.
A.

We often struggle to fill vacancies within our target timelines (due to low-quality applications that don’t meet requirements, candidates dropping out of processes, or offers being rejected).

B.

We generally fill vacancies within our target timelines, but we’re working towards further enhancing our efficiency (we receive quality CVs but people pull out of processes and roles are often open for longer than we’d like).

C.

We consistently fill vacancies quickly and efficiently, and there is little room for improvement (due to strong applications from people with the right skills, little drop-off through the process and a strong, sustainable talent pipeline).

The choices you make are representative of your level of capability, not conclusive.
