High end HR recruitment on the up

May 25, 2010

There are signs of significant increase in human resources vacancy flows as firms increase investment and market sentiment improves. Companies are beginning to pay for top talent after a year of pay freezes

Easing of headcount restrictions led to significant vacancy increases during quarter one, according to the latest Market Update from recruitment specialist Robert Walters. Professionals with learning and development skills and talent management experience became more confident about moving roles as employers began to invest in their HR departments once again.

While HR professionals faced pay freezes last year, candidates expected to get back on track with their salary in quarter one and sought roles that matched their ambitions. At the same time, companies recognised that they needed to pay to get top talent.

Kate Francis, Manger of Robert Walters HR recruitment division, comments: “We saw a significant improvement in vacancy flows in financial services and commerce. Indeed, initial signs are encouraging and point to an improving market. The biggest challenge for HR leaders in the coming months will be maintaining delivery of their HR functions, as many organisations are operating on reduced budgets.”
