Opinions seem to be unanimous!

For José Caetano Silva, Managing Partner of Talent Search in Portugal and Spain, the sectors that will experience most growth will include Technology and Consultancy, given the need for innovative solutions and the slowdown in investment by some sectors in these two items, (since 2001!) in recent years.

And this is not all! “Another sector that will necessarily grow will be Distribution, given the recent awards of new licenses. And we cannot forget the construction and public works sector, with all that is promised in terms of public investment. With the potential end of the economic crisis, we believe that tourism will grow at a good rate” he adds.

As far as the most sought after positions are concerned, the Managing Partner of Talent Search in Portugal and Spain claims that they will continue to be the related to business development (sales and marketing). “The explanation can be found in the vital need that all companies currently have to show reasonable growth, after the recent years of slowdown or even recession.” The more desired skills are related to business leveraging: Commercial capacity for leading teams; managing change; negotiation and leadership", he claims.
