Key points from July survey:
- Modest rises in permanent placements and temporary billings
- Demand for staff grows at slowest pace in eight months
- Pay growth quickens from June’s low but remains muted
- Faster improvement in candidate availability
Commenting on the latest survey results, Bernard Brown, Partner and Head of Business Services at KPMG said:
“Permanent and temporary staff appointments have risen again in July, although at a very moderate pace.
“The good news is that we are seeing no further deterioration in the jobs market but growth is still much slower than at the beginning of the year.
“Employers across all sectors remain cautious about hiring new staff. The key reason for this is the uncertain economic outlook with domestic demand being weighed down by government cutbacks and falling real wages, while exports and investment are not strong enough to take up the slack.”
