Every industry is different, but there are many themes that run through all of them. That’s what we’ve found as we release our special industry reports from the 2014 McQuaig Talent Recruitment Survey.

Today, we’re releasing the final two reports: Retail and Financial Services. Here are some of the highlights:

**Retail Industry Recruiting Report Highlights**

- 56% say it’s hard to find a cultural fit
- [Social media management](https://blog.mcquaig.com/hr-can-take-a-page-from-marketing-for-social-recruiting-success) the top planned investment
- Issues with hiring managers the #1 challenge

**Financial Services Industry Recruiting Report Highlights**

- 55% say intuition is not the best predictor of success
- Half say hiring managers aren’t good [interviewers](https://blog.mcquaig.com/making-hiring-managers-better-interviewers)
