New figures compiled by InterExec, the Confidential Agent for executives seeking over £150k, have revealed the top five discipline changes in the number of senior executive vacancies notified to them from its current database of over 4,000 UK headhunters, with management consultants increasing by 25% in the last 12 months.
The figures also reveal that November has produced an all time record of 560 vacancies notified, 38% up on November 2009, with variations according to Industry and Discipline:
Top Discipline Changes
- Bankers +147%
- Sales Directors + 88%
- CEO/MDs + 62%
- Management Consultants + 25%
- CIO/IT Directors + 20%
Headhunters surveyed by InterExec last month were found to be buoyant and optimistic for the first quarter of 2011 with indications that January will be another record month in the market.
Kit Scott-Brown, managing director of InterExec, commented: “What we found in these top sectors is not surprising; despite its ups and downs the management consultancy sector has been remarkably resilient, as have directors in other sectors. The unprecedented rise in job vacancies among these top 5 sectors, which have been notified to us, just confirms what we are being told by clients - that individuals have been waiting for the market to improve and now think it is time to make their move.”
