A report from industry body the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) and professional services provider KPMG found that appointments to permanent vacancies rose for the fifth month in a row.
Average salaries for people in permanent positions also rose for the second consecutive month, with the rise being the fastest since June 2008.
Temporary workers also experienced an improved month, with vacancy levels seeing the strongest growth for 22 months.
Kevin Green, chief executive of the REC, said: “Despite the increase in demand for both temporary and permanent staff, the jobs market will remain extremely competitive, particularly for younger candidates.'
He added that the recovery of the UK jobs market is accelerating as we head into 2010, with employer confidence and vacancies increasing.
November's statistics showed that nursing and medical care were the highest growth sectors of vacancies, with staff salaries also seeing a rise.
