Jobs Market to pick up in 2012

Figures released today show that the UK economy has come out of recession with a significant growth in both the last quarter of 2011 and the first quarter of 2012.

This well documented recovery could further boost employer confidence and accelerate the already increasing demand for both permanent and temporary staff, according to the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC).

The latest REC JobsOutlook showed that employer confidence was already starting to rise with one in three businesses planning to increase their permanent workforce over the coming year and a huge majority (over 90 per cent) not intending to carry out any more job cuts.

This followed the latest REC/KPMG Report on Jobs which showed permanent staff placements growing at their fastest rate for 30 months and temporary staff assignments rising at their sharpest rate in the past four years.

Commenting on today's economic news and the outlook for jobs, the REC's Director of Research said: "The UK jobs market has shown positive signs of recovery for several months and today's news will further boost employer confidence. It is also likely that this will lead to some fluidity returning to the labour market as more workers currently in employment feel confident enough to look at new opportunities."
