Although with recent financial turmoil, caused by change of Government fiscal direction, we are seeing no slowdown in demand for staff. This is mirrored in the latest reported Labour Market Tracker, produced by the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) with Lightcast using Job Postings Analytics data which is harvested from tens of thousands of job boards. Neil Carberry, Chief Executive of the REC, summed it up well by stating; “While the data fluctuates from week to week, new jobs postings have averaged about the same level through the year, suggesting a pattern of strong and stable demand. Despite a wider narrative of concern about the economy, this reflects feedback from recruiters across the country who are saying that shortages mean demand is remaining high even as growth diminishes.”
