Research by REC released today shows marked increase in permanent hires but continuing market challenge to secure candidates and salary hikes
REC research released today shows a sharper increase in permanent placement and marked increase in job vacancies.
In addition starting salary inflation is increasing at the highest rate for 31 months.
As Kevin Green, REC Chief Executive says:-
"We are seeing a continued rise in jobs filled via recruiters as it gets more challenging for businesses to find candidates. The UK has almost full employment and the country is plagued by labour, skills and talent shortages. This increasing competition for good quality staff is driving up starting salaries with employers willing to pay higher wages to attract the right people."
