Vacancies at 15-year high as recruitment rises,
finds Report on Jobs
The
number of vacancies across UK business increased at its fastest pace since July
1998 in November as appointments continued to grow, finds the REC/KPMG Report
on Jobs.
This trend tallies with Office for National Statistics data produced in recent months, which put the number of job vacancies at 545,000 in the three months to October.
The monthly survey of 400 recruiters from the industry body and the professional services firm saw the number of people hired in permanent and temporary roles rise again last month, but not as dramatically as seen previously.
As placements continued to rise, the availability of staff for permanent and temporary jobs fell at its quickest rate for six and nine years respectively.
