2018 most wanted job list is revealed

Computer security staff, data analysts, accountants, building surveyors and civil engineers are among the jobs expected to be most in demand in 2018, a new report predicts.

Recruitment firm Hays says just over half the UK workforce would look for a new job next year, while three in four employers planned to recruit staff.

Its report identified sectors suffering from a shortage of suitably experienced candidates and jobs likely to feature in a “most wanted” list.
