UK job vacancies 'rose in March'
The REC said the report indicated increasing confidence among employers
The
number of job vacancies in March grew at its fastest rate for eight
months, led by the IT and computing sector, a report has said.
The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) report
also said that permanent staff placements rose for the third month in a
row.But there was a drop in the number of temporary appointments in March.
The REC said many firms had converted temps into permanent staff due to the effect of Agency Worker Regulations.
The regulations, which came into force at the end of last year, gave agency workers equal rights with directly employed staff after 12 weeks in a job.
Although, there were more jobs on offer in March, starting salaries for new permanent staff "stagnated".
Tom Hadley from the REC said the rise in permanent appointments and vacancy growth was a "positive indication of increasing employer confidence".
