The demand for workers in the UK rose last month to its highest rate in over a quarter, according to the latest research from PricewaterhouseCoopers. The PwC research also found that 28% of companies will increase their headcount in 2011, with some 15% claiming significant increases as the economy comes out of recession.
“The Recruitment and Employment Confederation and KPMG have also reported that the number of permanent roles, have dramatically increased in the last few months as a direct result of the improving jobs market,” stated Bradley Placks, Managing Director of award-winning, MyResourcer.com.
“What is also worth noting is research out this week from Orange which suggests that some 26% of small-to-medium sized businesses are also planning to hire more staff in 2011. Why is this particularly important? Well the SME sector is the powerhouse of the UK economy, with those businesses employing under 50 people making up some 80% of our GDP.
“This trend – now being bourn out from survey after survey – indicates that the private sector could be turning the corner and will be well positioned before the cuts are implemented across the public sector. For the recruitment industry this is going to be a critical time,” he added.
“There is no doubt that over the past year there have been some recruitment specialists that have really done well despite the current macro-economic climate. Moving forward agencies need to have in place the very best people and systems to enable them to take full advantage of the increase in job vacancies,” continued Bradley.
“For some that will mean improving the way they already operate in certain markets, improving their new business operations, finding those jobs in the first place and ensuring that they can match existing candidates to jobs. For others, the decline in public sector job opportunities could potentially mean that they have to identify new markets in which to operate. What better than a vacancy search application to automate this process.”
MyResourcer.com is such a tool - a new, easy-to-use vacancy lead generation system for the global recruitment market, developed for the busy recruiter in mind. Instead of having to trawl through websites on a daily basis MyResourcer.com automates the process highlighting new job vacancies which recruiters can then match candidates to, speeding up the recruitment process and helping them to generate business faster.
