REC Staffing Outlook Neil Carberry, 13th April 2021
Business confidence in hiring improves
as easing of lockdown announced
According to our latest survey of employers (JobsOutlook):
• Employers’ confidence in hiring rose in the three months to February 2021, and early data for March suggests
that this is continuing to increase. This is despite some signs that the winter lockdown started to slow hiring.
• Hiring intentions for both permanent staff and agency workers remained high overall.
• In February, business confidence in the economy improved by three percentage points but remained very low
at net: -50 across the whole of the UK.
JobsOutlook, 29 Jan 2021 11Surge in both Permanent and Temporary
recruitment activity as restrictions begin
to ease
According to our monthly survey of recruiters (Report on Jobs):
• Permanent placement rose for the first time in 2021, as did the demand for permanent staff. Permanent
vacancies increased at the quickest rate in the healthcare, followed closely by the IT and computing sector.
• Temporary billings and demand for temps continued to increase in March for a nine month in a row. In particular,
demand increased strongly Blue collar and IT and computing sectors, followed closely by the financial sector.
• Staff availability remained broadly stable, as workers continue to be reluctant to commit to a career change in
the present economic conditions.
• Starting salaries for permanent staff and temporary pay both rose in March ending a two-month contraction in
2021.
Report on Jobs, 8 Jan 2021 12Sectoral recovery trends are clear
13Rise in job adverts in March as
restrictions continue to ease
• There were 1.29 million active job adverts in the UK in late March 2021, the lowest since late June 2020. This fall
was due to an increase in job ads being removed from job sites.
• In the third week of March, there were 146,000 new job adverts posted in the UK – one of the highest weekly
figures since the pandemic began. This indicates that employers are much more confident about bringing in new
staff than after the first wave of the pandemic.
• Northern Ireland and Wales are seeing the highest numbers of job adverts compared to the start of the pandemic,
while London has the least.
• These tables show which notable occupations saw an increase and decrease in job adverts:

Jobs Recovery Tracker, Jan 2021 14A strengthening economic picture
• Across the developed nations, growth has outperformed expectations in
Q1…
• …this is particularly pronounced in the UK, despite a full lockdown…
• …and we are likely to see a strong recovery through the rest of the year,
driven in part by returning confidence and in part by cash reserves held by
some households and companies being injected into the economy.
• All of this explains the strong employment trend, and the Bank’s expectation
that unemployment will peak at 6.5%, far lower than after the financial crisis.
15Where are the longer-term issues?
• Some of the change we are seeing is secular, not cyclical. This
creates shortage of skills and difficult transitions.
• Demographics and Brexit dynamics will feed labour market
tightness.
• Challenge to business on inclusion and good work will remain.
Government interventionism is here to stay.
16
dThe retirement of the baby boomers is reshaping our
labour supply as much as immigration changes
17To conclude
• Staffing issues are more complex, and more unprecedented than
before – simple process solutions may be less effective.
• Getting recruitment, training and deployment right matters. New REC
research measures the impact of good recruitment on the economy –
delivering benefits more alike in scale to legal and financial services
than anything that has so far been acknowledged
• Mid-late 2020 story is likely to be strong growth, driven by businesses
adapting fast – huge opportunities and a rapidly tightening labour
market.
18The real value of recruitment
The REC has launched Recruitment and recovery, a ground-breaking report
looking at the wider economic and social impact of good recruitment and its
role in the recovery from COVID-19.
Here are some of the key findings:
• The recruitment industry supports £86 billion in gross value added across the
economy, the equivalent of 4.3% of GDP and more than either the legal or
accounting sectors.
• One in five companies that use temporary workers say they would not be able to
operate at all without them, which means that temp agencies directly enable
around 3% of the economy, worth £61 billion in GDP.
• Someone finds a permanent job through a recruiter every 21 seconds. Hundreds of
thousands of people are helped out of unemployment or into their first job, and
candidates often only get crucial advice about job hunting from a recruiter.
• Only around half of Britons think that businesses in the UK do a good job at
recruiting efficiently, and many businesses are not doing enough to increase the
diversity of their candidate pool. But two thirds of businesses that work with a
recruiter say they helped them increase the diversity of new recruits.

Q&A David Frise, Chief Executive, BESA Neil Carberry, Chief Executive of the Recruitment & Employment Confederation Helen Yeulet, Director of Training & Skills, BESA Richard Snarey, Executive Director, PRS Recruitment
Coming up…
• Tuesday 20 April - Raising the alarm about damper testing
• Building owners, managers and occupiers are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of comprehensive fire safety risk assessments in the wake of the Grenfell
tragedy and imminent changes to legislation.
• As a result, the role of fire and smoke dampers has gained unaccustomed attention. What has often been a widely ignored part of a building’s safety systems is now
sharply in focus with clients anxious to meet their statutory obligations.
• This has obvious implications for damper testing regimes, best practice and the competence of the firms employed to locate, test, and maintain these safety critical
devices.
• BESA has, therefore, updated its technical guidance for Fire and Smoke Damper Maintenance, which it is making widely available to support the industry’s efforts to
improve the overall safety of buildings.
• Join our webinar at 12pm on 20th April for an introduction to the guidance followed by a wide-ranging discussion with a panel of experts who will, among other things,
debate how the industry needs to step up to the mark on damper maintenance; the end of the ‘tick box’ risk assessment mentality; and the need for complete and
verifiable records.
• Speakers:
• Peter Rogers, Technical Consultant, BESA
• Richard Norman, Managing Director, Indepth Services
• George Friend, CEO, Ventilation Surveys & Services
