Graduates look set to benefit from the news that an increasing number of employers plan to take on staff over the coming months. According to new research by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development, 85 per cent of the 1,000 employers asked are hoping to recruit in the near future. The figure represents a six per cent rise on the number of bosses looking to take on more workers last autumn. Graduates are likely to benefit most from the recruitment drive as many employers are concerned about the skills shortage across the country. Those who have attended university are often better qualified to take up work in, say, telecommunications or apply for IT sales jobs and bosses who are struggling to hire staff are more likely to turn to graduates. Dr John Philpott, the institute's chief economist, said: "Substantial growth in the supply of labour in recent years, due mainly to increased immigration, has helped the economy avoid the wage spiral some had feared in the wake of the recent surge in the cost of living."
