UK Permanent Job Placement Growth At 4-Month High

Permanent job placements in the U.K. increased at the fastest pace in four months in October, the Report on Jobs compiled by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and KPMG showed Friday. The number of people placed in permanent jobs climbed further in October and the growth was solid and sharpest in four months. Similarly, temporary and contract staff billings rose at a faster pace, marking the strongest growth in three months. At the same time, the availability of staff for permanent jobs continued to decline in October, although easing to the lowest since January. Overall vacancies continued to rise at a marked pace in October. Considering the regional and sector variation, the strongest rise in permanent placements was recorded by Midlands-based consultancies, followed by the North. Rates of expansion in the South and London were modest.
