Stats - Permanent Vacancies February 2013

On a month on month basis, both permanent and temporary vacancies grew strongly in January following the seasonal slow down in December. Compared to January 2012, permanent vacancies were up 1.7% and temporary vacancies were up 10.6%.

Taking a closer look at the trends in permanent recruitment we can see that vacancies were impacted by the lower demand in December resulting in a decline for all but seven sectors, out of 48.

Defence & Military continued its strong permanent vacancy growth, recording 23.4% quarter on quarter increases and 12.7% growth over the equivalent period last year.

New Media & Internet and Electronics have also had notable growth, both achieving the highest level of permanent vacancies recorded (since 2008) and delivering positive growth over the quarter.

Logistics Distribution & Supply Chain and Call Centre & Customer Service experienced the largest falls over the quarter, impacted by low hiring demand in November and December.
