"We filled the vacancy the next day"
Over 40 per cent of UK business leaders planning to recruit in the next year
More than 60 per cent of UK chief executives believe economic recovery will occur in 2010, according to a new poll.
The PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) annual Global CEO survey suggests there are reasons for cautious optimism for infrastructure specialists and engineering staff alike.
This rising confidence seems to have been translated into a recruitment boost, with 42 per cent of UK business leaders planning to increase their headcount in the next 12 months.
Financial services recruitment is also likely to receive a boost, with investment banks announcing their intention to hire one-third more graduates this year than last, according to
the Independent.
Recent unemployment figures from the Office of National Statistics (ONS) show a slight improvement, suggesting that the UK job market outlook is more positive than it has been for some time.
UK businesses are leading the European pack when it comes to recruitment.
In the Netherlands only 34 per cent of chief executives expect to increase headcount, followed by France (30 per cent), Italy (29 per cent), Germany (27 per cent) and Spain (nine per cent).
