The REC (Recruitment and Employment Confederation) have undertaken a study which shows that 64% of Private sector employers are looking to increase their headcount over the next three months and 65% are looking to do so over the next year. Only 6% said they were reducing numbers over the next 12 months. On the temporary side, 78% of employers said they would be increasing the number of agency staff they take on in the short term and whopping 77% said this would be the case over the next year! “Employer confidence is at a 12 month high” said Roger Tweedy, the REC’s Director of research.
