Targeted sales recruitment 'will lead to growth'

The country's employers are gearing up for growth through targeted sales recruitment, according to a new survey.

Data published by the Confederation of British Industry and Harvey Nash in the Gearing up for Growth report reveals that the number of businesses operating a recruitment freeze has fallen from a peak of 61 per cent in Spring 2009 to seven per cent this autumn.

Is shows that a quarter of companies are planning targeted recruitment in areas including sales, management and technical, while a fifth intend to add staff in some parts of the business and reduce numbers elsewhere.

Over a fifth of companies are planning targeted pay rises for key staff, while 42 per cent are planning a below-inflation award for all employees, the survey also found.

According to a spokesman for the Forum of Private Business, confidence remains quite high among the UK's businesses, with companies feeling optimistic about their prospects following the recession.
