they intended to do so over the coming quarter. All respondents were guaranteed anonymity to encourage open and
honest answers.

however, levels of staff reduction remain reasonably low and

sectors such as banking and telecoms are clearly leading the
way out of the downturn, with significantly high hiring and low
firing figures.

THE CURRENT PICTURE
Winners and Losers – Regions
In a continuing demonstration of the shifting balance of

economic power in recent years, the region with the
highest current level of recruitment activity at
managerial and professional level was the Asia-Pacific
area at 65%. However the continuing recovery of the
US economy meant that the Americas region was not
far behind at 64%. In sharp contrast, Western Europe
scored a relatively poor 45%.
Winners and Losers – Sectors
Across the globe the sectors with the highest current

levels of recruitment at professional and managerial
level were:
1) Banking
2) Engineering
3) FMCG
4) IT software
5) Manufacturing
The lowest were shipbuilding, music and entertainment

and airlines.

Conclusion
Not an approaching train
Cynics often tell us that the light we can see at the end of a tunnel is actually the headlamps of an approaching train.
Fortunately this does not seem to be the case in terms of the global professional jobs market.
The signs of recovery that we detected in the Global Snapshots produced in September 2009 and January 2010 have
been repeated in this edition. Across the world the level of hiring at managerial and professional level has risen slightly
since the beginning of the year from 53% to 54% and looks set to rise again over the next quarter to 58%. At the same
time the percentage of organisations shedding staff in the ‘magnificent middle’ has dropped from 28% in January to
just 22% now. And if anyone ever doubted the underlying robustness of the global financial services community they
should look no further than this edition of Global Snapshot. After a painful period of large scale redundancies and
recruitment freezes, the banking sector is once again the most active hirer of talent around the world.
Of course no recovery is ever simultaneous and universal. A number of countries in both Western and Eastern Europe
have seen a drop in hiring levels, as has Nigeria and Africa’s largest economy, South Africa despite the economic
optimism generated by the looming World Cup.
In the last two editions of Global Snapshot we have hesitated to suggest that a genuine and sustained recovery is
underway, wary of the fact that more unpleasant surprises might still be announced by the banking community.
However the fact that this industry now tops the list of the world’s most active sectors gives us the confidence to
predict that a double dip recession is now unlikely to take place. As a result the nascent war for talent that has already
broken out is likely to become fiercer over the next few months, as the most prescient businesses snap up the people
who will enable them to secure best advantage in improving markets.
