Key points from June survey:
- Slower growth of both permanent and temporary appointments.
- Demand for staff increased at weaker pace.
- Pay growth eased further.
- Candidate availability continued to rise.
Commenting on the latest survey results, Bernard Brown, Partner and Head of Business Services at KPMG said:
“There has been a marked deterioration in the UK jobs market with permanent placements growing at their weakest rate in almost two years.
“Employers across all sectors are very cautious about hiring new staff – and a quick job market recovery in the UK now looks increasingly uncertain.
”With the continuing pressure of higher energy costs for businesses – and uncertainty about the strength of export markets in key Eurozone countries – most private sector companies are increasingly focused on keeping their cost base low.
“The public sector job market remains very slow – with little sign of a pick-up in the near future.”
