Employer satisfaction rates remains high

Employer satisfaction rates around the UK remain at a strong level, with nine out of ten clients satisfied with the service they had received from recruitment agencies, according to the latest Recruitment and Employment Confederation JobsOutlook.

This is a "positive endorsement" for the work of recruiters, especially against a backdrop of economic and regulatory upheaval, the REC noted.

"Although the key factor will always be the ability to find the right person for the job or assignment, recruiters have gone the extra mile in providing support to clients on AWR implementation and other external challenges," explained Tom Hadley, director of policy and professional services.

He observed that UK employers are currently demanding increasingly fast turnaround times, which makes flexible staffing arrangements more important than ever and provides a further opportunity for agencies to deliver.

As a result, recruiters are "making things happen" by reaching out to a more diverse pool of candidates and providing support and mentoring, Mr Hadley noted.

"A satisfaction rate of 90 per cent is something the industry can be proud of and can continue to build on," he added.

It comes after a recent survey by Reesmarx Europe found that 76 per cent of respondents prefer to use specialist recruitment agencies when seeking new staff.
