Here are the job candidates that employers are searching for most

What do Australia, Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. have in common beyond a common tongue? Try a dearth of nurses, mechanics and electricians.

That's according to a recent analysis by career site Indeed.com that ranks the 10 job sectors with the most sought-after job candidates by employers and recruiters based on what resumes they searched for in 2023 across the four countries. 

"Resume search is a proactive step that suggests that other (more passive) strategies, such as simply posting a job advertisement online, haven't been so successful," according to the report, which found that for each country, resume search trends were in sync with talent shortages.
