Reflex agrees with today’s Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) report based on a survey of over 600 employers which found that approximately a third of employers are unsure about their short-term hiring plans for temporary agency workers, according to their latest JobsOutlook survey from the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC). It also found approximately a third are equally uncertain about agency worker hiring over the next 4 to 12 months. In addition, the proportion of employers who respond ‘don’t know’ about their medium-term hiring plans for permanent workers has gone up from 10 per cent in February last year to now 18 per cent. Although Reflex notes the survey findings that some respondents think that economic conditions in the country are getting worse, we feel that there are signs of some growth and remain positive for the future.
