Permanent and temporary vacancies increase in March

Permanent and temporary vacancies increase in March
The number of permanent and temporary staff securing jobs increased at a slower rate in March.

Research from KPMG revealed that the number of appointment slowed down following a peak in February and despite an increase in demand for staff.

Permanent staff vacancies rose at their fastest rate in March since April 2010, while the number of temporary roles on offer experienced their sharpest rise since July 2007.

Kevin Green, chief executive of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation, said the findings show there is much to be positive about with respect to the growing UK job market.

'People changing jobs are clearly looking for higher pay to compensate for inflation … Whilst it's important to reward quality candidates appropriately it's important that this trend doesn't limit opportunities for job creation or hinder business growth in the future,' he added.

Phil Flaxton, chief executive of Work Wise UK, seemed to agree, adding that parents need to be flexible and should consider the needs of their employer during the recovery.ADNFCR-2787-ID-800490312-ADNFCR
