Graduate recruitment could improve after promising forecast

Graduate recruitment could improve after promising forecast The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and KPMG's report on jobs has shown that growth of permanent staff placements grew in February to reach its strongest level since July 2007.

This could potentially hand a boost to recent university leavers who are looking to find a job in the ever-competitive degree-level job market.

Kevin Green, chief executive of the REC, said: "The UK jobs market is continuing to improve. Increasing employer confidence has resulted in the best performance we've seen in permanent employment for two and a half years.

"High-end sectors such as IT are showing particularly strong growth and we are also seeing significant increases in demand for admin and back-office support."

Job seekers and those already in employment were handed a boost recently by the news that Britain had actually moved out of recession by 0.3 per cent, instead of the originally forecasted 0.1 per cent, Office for National Statistics data showed.ADNFCR-834-ID-19648745-ADNFCR
