According to the results of a recent professional talent spotlight, recruitment activity in the banking, financial services and retail industries is rising.
The report from Badenock & Clark also found that those working in the finance sector are increasingly taking up temporary contracts.
Associate director of banking and financial services at the firm Guy Emmerson points out that the stability of day rates is resulting in permanent jobs becoming more difficult to fill.
Lynne Hardman, executive director, of Accounting and Finance at the firm, told Recruitment Today: "Keeping pace with international accounting standards has created senior level opportunities across a number of organisations including those in the transport, media and property sectors."
This week finance provider Bibby Financial Services latest Business Factors Index discovered that the majority of people working within the business services sector that were questioned believe that the recovery of the industry will be in line with that of other sectors.
The trends discovered from the data were collated alongside the results from interviews conducted with over 300 business owners from a range of firms across the country.
