Don't forget you can send in your Inspiration or Confessions of a Recruiter; we'll publish the latter anonymously if you like!

Stats - Bullhorn 2014 UK Recruitment Trends Report

Key findings:

Economic recovery, social media usage and a richer candidate talent pool were attributed to better performance in 2013: Fill rate increased for 52 per cent of candidates, 43 per cent of respondents citing the economic recovery and 30 per cent citing social media.
Agency revenue performance continues to increase: 80 per cent of agencies met or exceeded their revenue goals in 2013, compared with 75 per cent in 2012.
Remuneration increased: 60 per cent of recruiters saw an increase in remuneration in 2013, which is lower than the 79 per cent that expected salary increases last year.
The skills shortage is still a top concern: 79 per cent of recruiters cited a shortage of quality candidates as their greatest challenge.
All eyes are on the tech industry: 29 per cent of recruiters identified technology as the hottest for recruitment, with fewer than expected respondents voting for energy and chemical as the top industry.
Large agencies dwarf smaller competitors in revenue per producer: For the first time Bullhorn surveyed agency revenue, which when compared with size revealed a chasm between large and small agency revenues.
