Intermediaries such as recruitment companies can help employers find suitable candidates by coaxing them into the market, an expert has commented. Steve Huxham, chairman of the Recruitment Society, told online resource HR Zone that some firms may choose to cut costs by recruiting directly as a result of the credit crunch. However, he warned candidates might hesitate to look for work during economically unstable times. "A genuine intermediary can add value by tempting that person out, courting them and getting them into the market," he explained. HR Zone reports that growth within the recruitment industry has been fuelled by the increasing competition for top talent. It states that a shortage of skills is affecting almost every industry. A recent report published by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation revealed the British recruitment industry's turnover reached more than £26 billion during 2006-07. This represented growth of more than seven per cent on the previous year, it reported. Pareto - Graduate IT Sales Jobs with the UK's largest IT companies earning up to £35k OTE
