The quotes below are about this issue:
Employers are also having difficulty filling mid-level to senior-level leadership positions.
| "When we look at positions where we aren't going to back down from the requirements, in some cases, we have a job famine. So, we may have an engineer or two and a senior engineer. We may start looking for the senior engineer that is Cisco [lost in translation]. We may not be able to find quite the candidate that we need and so we bring in more of a mid-level person and then try to grow them. But there are dangers with that, too, because sometimes you grow them and then they go someplace else. So, that's a problem as well." | Southwest |
| "It's difficult getting the higher level people, the professional engineer types. We're out of southwestern Minnesota in a rural area. I can't go to the Twin Cities and hire a professional engineer and bring him or her to rural Minnesota. He or she would have severe culture shock." | Southwest |
