Finally I get to write an article that isn’t all doom and gloom, that isn’t all ‘now, with the recession, you’d better be right on top of your sales game because blah blah.’ The month of October has been a good one for everyone in the recruitment game, with demand for new employees up 7% on September according to the Job Index report compiled by Reed. It’s good news for a number of sectors, with demand for new employees in the IT sector by far the highest. Sales also saw a big rise, so we imagine it’s looking pretty chirpy for the IT sales recruitment industry.
The managing director of Reed, Martin Warnes, did however state:
‘But we do need to be careful not to get carried away by one month’s figures...’
I say why not, especially as this brings us back in line with a similar level of employee demand that we enjoyed during spring 2011. Anyway, we all need to be optimistic about something, and if it’s a revived jobs market and a return of confidence of employers and a willingness to invest in new talent, then that’s good news for everyone.
The report did state that salaries remain steady though, so, you know...it’s not all good news!
