Headhunters surveyed by InterExec last month were found to be buoyant and optimistic for the first quarter of 2011 with indications that January will be another record month in the market.
Kit Scott-Brown, managing director of Interexec, commented: “What we found in the Banking sector is not surprising; despite its ups and downs this sector has been remarkably resilient, and the unprecedented rise in job vacancies among the sector, which have been notified to us, just confirms what we are being told by clients - that individuals have been waiting for the market to improve and now think it is time to make their move.”
