According to the JobsOutlook report by the REC (Recruitment Employment Confederation)* employers confidence was still on the up in February.  This is great as it hopefully means that Kinetica’s clients wishing to increase their headcount, will also be on the up.

It would appear that a majority percentage of the countries employers are intending to grow their permanent workforce over the next couple of months.

Commenting on the latest statistics, Roger Tweedy, the REC’s Director of Research said:

“The fact that nearly two thirds of employers continue to predict a slight increase in permanent staffing is clearly a positive sign that is likely to be bolstered by this week’s budget. Overall business and consumer confidence, although still fragile, also seems to be picking up.

“Last year, employer confidence began to build at this time only to fall away sharply over the summer, so it is still early days. However, there are signs that the current momentum in the jobs market will be more durable this time round.”
