In 2019 Ellie Benton-Best & Dr Kayleigh Fawcett Williams from the Career Ecologists group & WildlifeTek & Equifinity surveyed consultant ecologists in two groups. The first was for ecologists up to senior level. We asked them about their personal experiences of development and learning, as well as career progression. The second survey was completed by managers/employers in ecology. In this group were those responsible for teams, hiring, and budgets as well as their field work or specialism. We asked them specifically about hiring, the skills they most look for on their teams, and what they think is missing.
The results were fascinating, find out some of the detail here
