SuperVisual recruitment has opened its second office in Lyon, France

The company, which was launched in Dec 2006 by twenty one year old Georgia B, offers recruitment solutions to companies in the creative and architectural sectors.

The signs for 2008 are positive! One example is that this year for the first time ever profit margins at digital creative agencies have overtaken those at traditional advertising agencies. Our new France operation is already surpassing expectations.

Georgia refers to France as a recruiter's paradise and has plans to open a third office in Germany within 6 months.

Unlike the UK, where there are now shortages of certain creative skill sets, Germany's economic recovery is not only creating jobs; historically high unemployment provides a ready stock of qualified workers to fill them.

Tight labour markets in 2007 have meant recruiters are enjoying record profits and soaring share prices for the few listed recruitment groups reflects this. Recruitment is less cyclical than it used to be and there is plenty of scope for growth in 2008.
