UK’s plans to recruit…
Well this is news we love to hear, positive news in the job market.
56% (out of 2,000 company surveyed) plan to hire in the first 3 months of 2021. With sectors in healthcare, finance, insurance, education and Technology being the strongest sectors.
The human resources body, the CIPD, said it was the first positive signs for employment prospects it had seen in a year.
About 56% of 2,000 firms surveyed planned to hire in the first three months of 2021.
In the report they said “Our findings suggest that unemployment may be close to peak and may even undershoot official forecasts, especially given the reported fall in the supply of overseas workers,” The survey also found that the number of firms planning to make redundancies in the first quarter of 2021 dropped from 30% to 20%, compared with the previous three-month period.
Understandably, Hospitality was the worst hit sector, accounting for a third of the job losses, followed by retail. Only 36% of hospitality employers were intending to recruit new staff.
