New research by Eurociett, the European Confederation of Private Employment Services, has revealed sales revenue growth for European recruitment agencies across all of the countries in which data was collected.

According to the September 2016 Agency Business Indicator, year-on-year turnover agency revenue rose in all of the eight markets covered. Revenues were greatest in Poland and Finland, with turnover up by 17% and 8.2%, respectively.

Based on data from Eurociett members in 10 countries, but excluding the UK, for which no such data is available, the number of hours worked by agency workers rose by an average of 2.3% year-on-year.

Two countries – Switzerland (-8.6%) and Italy (-6.2%) – were below the average, while Denmark saw the growth in hours worked by agency workers increase by 8.9%, more than any of the countries where data was collected.
