Indian companies are increasingly finding it difficult to find right talent, with 67 per cent of employers struggling to meet their critical-level hiring targets, a survey claimed.

About a year ago, only about 16 per cent companies were facing difficulties in getting the right talent for critical positions, the survey by staffing services firm Manpower said.

According to Manpower's sixth annual Talent Shortage Survey, India results are well above the global average of 34 per cent and second only to Japan, where 80 per cent of employers are struggling to fill critical positions.
