Phil Flaxton, chief executive of not-for-profit initiative Work Wise UK, told IT job candidates that there are several signs that employment conditions in Britain are starting to improve.
'There are a lot of organisations who feel that, although we have got a long way to go, we are turning a corner,' he explained.
Mr Flaxton pointed out that the latest unemployment predictions are lower than was previously forecast, with the Trades Union Congress revising its peak estimate from three million people to 2.75 million.
In addition, the expert claimed that the UK is traditionally successful in industries which require innovation, such as the technology sector, and said this is another reason people are becoming more optimistic about the jobs market.
Recent figures from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and professional services provider KPMG showed that the growth of permanent staff appointments has reached its sharpest pace since July 2007.
