Why 1001?
The housing sector has an important issue to address. Although
it is thriving, and due to grow by 35% over the next three years,
50,000 employees in the sector are due to retire by 2014 – and that
leaves a gap that needs to be filled. Urgently.
What’s more, to many people in the job market, housing is a
sector about which little is known – which means the sector as a
whole is suffering a shortage of skills. 62% of housing
organizations say that it’s hard to find the right people to fill
the huge range of roles available; 94% agree that they need a wider
range of skills from their employees, and traditional recruitment
processes aren’t delivering the quantity and quality of candidates
they need.
All of this adds up to a great need – which 1001careers has been
created to answer. By promoting the housing sector as a great place
to work, and by providing a central point of entry to careers in
housing, 1001careers informs candidates, excites them and attracts
the best.
