Jobs decreasing for IT contractors

IT Recruitment Agencies would have seen a drop in demand for Temps last month as the Recruitment and Employment Confederations issued the index for IT Contractors at 51.7 a drop from 56.4.

This is a sign of the times as the cut backs made from the public sector have had an effect on IT Contractors. This was also shown with the fact that number of available contractors rose in September and also a drop in hourly pay rate.

The 2 other areas that have decreased more than IT, is nursing and medical temps. Whilst Engineering, Construction and Executive staff have come into demand.

Report for Recruitment Agencies

The REC in conjunction with the KPMG announced there findings for February 2010 and they made for interesting reading. Recruitment agencies would be pleased to here that permanent staff placements increased last month making this its strongest increase since July 2007.

The Temping market showed a slight increase in the amount being billed, although this increase was its slowest for 3 months.

Overall the market looks to be growing quite healthily and IT recruitment agencies would be pleased to hear this area is showing particularly strong growth. The only `but` in all this is the impending slow down of the public sector. Many healthcare recruitment agencies and public sector recruitment agencies, realise whilst in the recession money was being pumped into public sector, this will change and radical reforms will have to occur for costs to be reduced, how and when this will occur is of course unknown but there is no escaping the fact that this will have to happen at some point.

Recruitment agencies look at positive job market in Ireland

Recruitment agencies Premier Group and Sigmar Recruitment have both posted a significant increase in vacancies in the last quarter of 2009.

Premier Group showed a 23 percent increase and Sigmar Recruitment showed a 29% percent increase when they are being compared to the number of jobs they received in the 3rd quarter of 2009.

The increase in jobs has mainly derived from accountancy and IT and both companies have stated that they believe they are now seeing in Ireland a recovery to the job market. A statement from Sigmar Recruitment added that the increase in vacancies could have resulted from companies being over cautious about the recession and had reduced too much staff and so the 4th quarter could be an adjustment to the true level the recession hit Ireland.
Premier Group stated that this is their first increase in jobs since February 2008.

Overall the increase is welcomed by recruitment agencies and hope that accountancy recruitment agencies and IT recruitment agencies start to recover more so in 2010.
