The average time taken to place professionals fell from 67 days to 47 days, while the average salary for those who secured new roles in April was £51,347 – a rise of 2% on the previous month.Chief operations officer Andrew Evans says: “To see the highest number of new jobs available since October 2011 is of course a positive sign. However, in current fluctuating market conditions positive indicators like this don’t necessarily mean an end to a volatile hiring market.
“Employers continue to hire where there is a strong need for talent: risk, compliance, regulatory and change management roles are all areas of the market where we continue to see consistent levels of recruitment activity.”
