Permanent staff placements saw a seventh successive month of growth in April 2013, with the rate of increase accelerating, according to the latest Report on Jobs (external website) from the Recruitment & Employment Confederation (REC) and KPMG.
The seasonally adjusted indexes published by REC/KPMG - based on a scale where 50 indicates no change, anything above 50 indicates a rise on the previous month and anything below 50 a fall - show that:
- The availability of permanent staff was almost unchanged in April, with the index standing at 50.1 compared with 48.5 in March. The availability of temporary staff saw a modest rise, with the seasonally adjusted index standing at 51.4 compared with 51.5 in March (see table).
- April's data for the number of people placed in permanent jobs by recruitment consultancies showed a further rise, with the index standing at 52.5 compared with 50.8 in March.
