And here are the results of our quick poll:
51.8% of all respondents said that they had seen no signs that the job market had picked up
48.2% said that they had seen a pick-up.
But there is a big divergence of opinion on this subject between recruitment consultants and jobseekers. 78.9% of recruitment consultants who expressed a view said that they had seen a pick-up in the last few weeks, yet only 32.4% of jobseekers said that they had seen a resurgence of activity.
Reader Comments
1. 'I have noticed that the market has picked up over the last 4 - 8 weeks, although the time-to-hire remains lengthy'.
2. 'It really is early days, but there's been a distinct increase in vacancy levels in the last few weeks. To put it in perspective, however, many of the roles are project-based, or linked to operational risk or control. In other words, it is not a broad pick-up'.
3. 'We've actually started to get jobs phoned in again!'.
4. 'I am not looking for a new job, but I have noticed that the number of 'headhunting' calls has increased recently'.
5. 'As a candidate, I think that is has improved slightly - but it doesn't take much to improve from zero!'.
6. 'Back-office roles are still at a premium. Firms seems to be focusing on hiring revenue generators'.
