# Kompetansekrisen fortsetter: Tre av fire bedrifter finner ikke folkene de trenger

Tre av fire norske virksomheter sliter med å finne kompetansen de ser etter til ledige stillinger. KI-kompetanse er det mest krevende området når det gjelder å finne nye medarbeidere, men også langt mer tradisjonell drifts-, logistikk- og produksjonskompetanse er blant de mest kritiske områdene.

Det viser Manpowers «Global Talent Shortage Survey 2026», som måler tilgangen til arbeidskraft globalt.

– Ønskelisten for den perfekte kandidaten, med utdanning, erfaring og personlige egenskaper, er nok et hinder for gode ansettelser i mange virksomheter. Selv om søkerbunkene mange steder øker, kan årsaken være at terskelen for å sende av gårde søknader er blitt lavere. KI har gjort det enklere enn noen gang å sette opp CV og søknad, noe som gjør at flere søker. Derfor er ikke mengden søknader nødvendigvis en indikator på at markedet har blitt bedre for arbeidsgivere, sier konsernsjef Maalfrid Brath i ManpowerGroup.

**Antall søknader har økt med 75 prosent**

Dette bekreftes blant annet av ManpowerGroups søknadstall. Fra 2024 til i dag har antallet søknader på stillinger i bemanningsdelen av selskapet, økt med 75 prosent.

– Vi rekrutterer både til faste stillinger og ansetter medarbeidere som skal arbeide på tidsavgrensede prosjekter. Vi ser den samme utviklingen for begge grupper, og den samme tendensen viser seg enten vi bidrar til å ansette en leder eller en faglært ungdom, sier Maalfrid Brath.

**Energi og reiseliv har det vanskeligst**

Virksomheter innen energi og infrastruktur, reiseliv og servering, samt innen informasjonsteknologi er bransjene der flest virksomheter har problemer med å finne de riktige kandidatene.

Undersøkelsen viser at disse virksomhetene i liten grad konkurrerer om de samme kandidatene. Energi- og infrastrukturselskapene har størst utfordringer med å finne riktig ingeniørkompetanse, reiselivsbransjen finner ikke nok erfarne medarbeidere som kan jobbe i resepsjonen eller ta imot og ha dialog med kundene, mens informasjonsaktørene jakter på dem som kan utnytte KI.

**Se etter kandidater med potensial**

– Tallene viser at mangelen på talenter ikke handler om enkeltbransjer eller spesialister innenfor noen enkeltstående områder. Utfordringen rammer bredt og påvirker konkurransekraften til store deler av norsk næringsliv. Det finnes ingen enkle løsninger, men for mange kan en løsning være å senke kravene noe til kandidatene, og legge mer vekt på potensial enn på den kompetansen kandidatene allerede har, sier Brath.

En av fire virksomheter som har problemer med ledige stillinger gjør nettopp det. Andre løsninger, som flere enn en av fem virksomheter bruker, er å omskolere eller videreutdanne medarbeiderne de allerede har, og øke fleksibiliteten på både arbeidssted og arbeidstid.
