Nigel Heap, Managing Director of Hays, comments on today’s ONS employment figures

“Falling unemployment and rising employment mirrors what we are seeing; with more jobs registered every day we are busy recruiting for people to join Hays to meet the increase in demand. Whilst there may be some discrepancy over the headline figure, it seems that the overall trend is still positive and UK employment is moving in the right direction. Since the beginning of the year we’ve seen a definite increase in business and candidate confidence, which is fuelling activity and increasing opportunities for jobseekers.”
