23rd Mar 2010 - Green Shoots...
Well all the indicators point to it, over the last two months every recruitment indicator has shown an upward trend, so whether it’s the volume of job orders or the volume of new starters all point to this re-assuring trend. How does this affect candidates?
Well if you are thinking of looking for work now does appear to be the time to make the move, clients are looking to recruit they are interviewing and making offers to candidates. Our own internal figures show a 30% increase in job orders this quarter compared to the last quarter of 2009, but perhaps more importantly the numbers of people starting new jobs has increased by over 25% in the space over 3 months; not bad for green shoots!?
The market is still difficult but there is a confidence returning to it that has been missing for the last 18 months especially within real estate and banking.
If you are thinking of moving on…call us we would happily advise you on your options
