Commenting on the Conservatives' manifesto, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) highlighted that the party intends to scrap the proposed rise in national insurance payments for those earning less than £35,000 a year.
It revealed that any new companies launched in the opening two years of a Conservative government will not have to make employer national insurance contributions for the first ten workers it takes on its initial 12 months.
The confederation also drew attention to the Conservatives plan to give a £2,000 payment to every small firm which takes on an apprentice and proposals to set business mentors for unemployed people to encourage them to start up their own enterprise.
In addition, the REC commented on the launch of the Labour Party's manifesto, singling out that it intends to support emerging sectors such as the low-carbon, digital and creative industries.
The organisation also said that Labour's plans to crack down on businesses which break employment legislation could interest the recruitment world.
