• Three-quarters of the employers say they were experiencing various degrees of difficulty attracting the right talent for their open digital positions, with B2C marketers reporting the highest level of difficulty.

• 45% of companies responding to the survey say they plan to add to staff in Q2, down from 52% last quarter (Q1).
