As noted in this article the public sector is struggling to recruit employees. Per the article, the public sector is three times more likely than private firms to report that its image is a problem in terms of attracting new recruits. It is a critical component to recruit experienced individuals nowadays, since the Veterans are slowly leaving the workforce as the Millennial's enter.
Unfortunately, the public sector faces challenges such as pay freezes and pension reforms which discourage individuals with the expertise to apply. Dave Prentis general secretary of Unison, commented: "It is hardly surprising that senior staff are shunning the public sector. With the latest research suggesting 880,000 public sector job cuts by 2017, why would people risk taking a job that might be the next victim of the Tories' cuts? Why would they accept years of having their pay frozen when they can get better pay and bonuses in the private sector?”
