UKs global competitiveness depends on

the continued flexibility of labour market

PROFESSIONAL recruitment firms have

seen a nine per cent annual increase in
temporary placements for 2015 and a four per
cent increase in permanent placements.
This is according to new survey data from
the Association of Professional Staffing
Companies (APSCo) and Staffing Industry
Analysts (SIA). This is in line with the latest

data from the Office for National Statistics

(ONS), which reveals that overall employment levels increased by over half a million
year on year.
The growth in demand for a professional
flexible workforce is underlined by PWCs
latest Future of Work Report which revealed that almost half of HR professionals

expect at least 20 per cent of their workforce

to be made up of contractors or temporary
workers by 2020, with almost a third saying
that talent management strategies are being
built around the growth of portfolio careers.
Ann Swain, chief executive of APSCo said:
The UKs reliance on the flexible workforce
shows no sign of abating and it is clear that
UK economic growth and global competitiveness depends on the continued flexibility of
its labour market.
The professional recruitment sector is an
increasingly vital element of that flexible
market as demand for talent intensifies.
As the pace of technology increases, fluid
labour will become vital. The nature of work
is changing and the employment landscape is
no longer made up of a homogeneous group
but now contains many different types of
engagement and motivations for working
outside the traditional employed model.
Salaries showing gradual but steady growth
APSCos figures also reveal that median
salaries across all professional sectors continue to hold steady with a rise of 4.6 per cent
compared with 2014.
There are fluctuations dependent on sector
such as the big uptick in financial services
pay, but most professional sectors showed

increases such as sales (6.2 per cent); engineering (3.7 per cent); IT (2.4 per cent) and
marketing (0.6 per cent).
Ann Swain, chief executive of APSCo
added: Its clear that, in many professional
sectors, skill shortages are still acute resulting in upward pressure on pay levels and the
growth in salaries is obviously good news
against a backdrop of historically low inflation.
However, as the ONS reported earlier in
the month, pay increases have slowed in the
last quarter and while the outlook for 2016
remains unclear, we are seeing current demand continuing to increase with permanent
vacancies up five per cent month on month
and temporary vacancies up two per cent.
Year on year, finance and accounting placements were up by 15 per cent (permanent)
and 8.6 per cent (temporary) while demand
continued to outstrip supply. This is reflected
in salary levels for this sector which saw
average rises of almost 10 per cent.
While in 2014 demand for engineering
professionals was at a peak, APSCo says its
members have seen slow decline with permanent vacancies down year on year by 9.2%
and temporary roles falling by 5.9%, driven
most probably by the fall in oil and gas prices
