"The UK skills gap is not a new challenge, but it has entered a new phase of urgency. There is no single solution to the skills gap. However, with the right leadership, collaboration and commitment, it is possible to build a system that supports both economic success and individual fulfilment... I welcome the contribution of the Better Hiring Institute and its partners in advancing this important agenda, and I encourage policymakers, employers and educators alike to engage with the findings and recommendations set out here." Lord Knight of Weymouth, Member of the House of Lords

The Better Hiring Institute, its collaborators and employer network, have come together to spotlight the UK's growing skills gap and how this is impacting hiring practices and the labour market. This guide provides recommendations for industry and UK Government to shift the dial on the skills gap and create solutions to this ongoing challenge.

The guidance brings together leading UK experts and UK government, working in collaboration with Reed Screening, Vitruvia, the University of Leeds and Warwick University.
