The document summarizes the findings of the November Report on Jobs survey conducted by Markit Economics. It found that permanent staff placements and temporary/contract billings increased at their fastest rates in 28 and 19 months respectively, driven by a robust rise in demand for staff. The growth of permanent salaries also increased for the first time in 15 months, while temporary pay rates declined at a slower pace. Demand for staff rose across various sectors such as nursing, IT, and engineering.

Steven Jagger kpmg report on jobs in MaySteven Jagger
Availability of permanent candidates falls at sharpest rate since November 1997. Key points from the May survey:
Permanent placements and temporary billings continue to rise strongly, despite sharply falling candidate availability
Further strong rise in permanent salaries, while temp pay growth accelerates
"Record rise in starting salaries as permanent (and contract) candidate availability plummets....unlikely to be resolved until employers recognise that, for staff, remuneration is about much more than take home pay.”
For new ideas on attracting candidates please email sjagger@rethink-recruitment.com and I'll be happy to help.
