- 29 percent say they will increase agency workers over the next 12 months (with 55 percent saying they will maintain their current numbers)
The report also revealed employers continue to be pleased with the service they receive from recruitment agencies – with 91 percent rating themselves as satisfied.
Commenting on the latest figures, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation’s Director of Research, Roger Tweedy, said:
“The overall figures from quarter one are really positive. Looking forward, employers tell us they plan to make more job offers over both the short and medium term – particularly for permanent roles.
“Our measure of employer confidence has reached a record high point. But the growth in confidence was less than last month so it will be important to track whether increasing employer confidence is a continuing trend or whether it’s peaking.”
