Language skills in demand

Multilingualvacancies.com reports healthy level of vacancies and sponsor The Language Recruitment Fair

Despite the economic landscape, candidates with language skills are still very much in demand. Thatís according to the specialist language job board multilingualvacancies.com which is reporting over 2000 vacancies for language skills on its website.

ìAll businesses are currently having to find ways to become more competitive and productiveî, says Associate Director Miranda Reid, ìand often thatís going to involve looking outside traditional domestic borders to find new business. Consequently, organisations that are dealing with international customers are going to need language skills and we predict this as an ongoing trend throughout 2009.î

Because of this trend, multilingualvacancies.com is also the new sponsor of The Language Recruitment Fair which takes place at The Language Show in the autumn. ìItís the UKís biggest event for linguists and has over 13,000 visitors and weíre delighted to be involvedî, said Reid.
