DECISIONS
“There is new optimism in the market with 67 per cent

of employers surveyed predicting the economy will
strengthen in the next 6 to 12 months. This is in stark
contrast to this time last year when only 6 per cent
thought the economy would improve. This increased
confidence is further illustrated by 45 per cent of
respondents intending to increase permanent
headcount and 22 per cent expecting to increase
their use of temporary and contract staff. A very
different picture to this time last year.”
