The recent constant talk about the credit crunch has installed as aspect of fear into the recruitment market but it seems that this is a premature as over 86% of firms surveyed announced that they were expecting to continue to hire this Autumn and winter.
Previous experience has led to companies typically holding back from recruitment rather than making redundancies in tough times and while 5% seem to think some redundancies are inevitable, this figure is down on 2006.
It would look like the recruitment market is currently riding this wave and that the usual requirements for temporary employees will be as high as ever in the last quarter of 2007 and into 2008.
