Graduates looking to get jobs this summer would do well to get online after it was revealed that employers will continue to hunt for new recruits over the next few months. Although the pace at which companies plan to take on new staff will slow down compared to the start of the year, students graduating in June will still have a good chance of finding work. This is according to a new survey which shows that 13 per cent of firms are planning to increase the size of their workforce in April and June - a two per cent drop on the start of the year. The study, conducted by employment agency Manpower, also revealed that no major changes had been made to the number of bosses wanting to take on new staff, despite interest rate hikes. "The strength of the UK labour market is evidenced by hiring plans not being dented by recent increases in interest rates, nor in the face of rises in inflation," said Mark Cahill, managing director of Manpower UK. "We will need to see how any future increases in both interest rates and inflation forecasts may impact on consumer spending and filter down to employers, but for now employers remain upbeat." Meanwhile, choosing to search for jobs through an online agency has been revealed as a safe option, with the number of complaints received by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation last month said to be "extremely low".
