Commercial Finance People - providers of specialist recruitment services to the finance sector and contributor to KPMG’s Report on Jobs, confirms that its experience of recruitment patterns is mirroring the findings of the latest Report with an upturn in both vacancies and placements.

Commenting on the latest survey results, Bernard Brown, Partner and Head of Business Services at KPMG said:

“The UK jobs market looks healthier today than at any time in the last two years which is, of course, encouraging news. Sectors like accounting and banking lead the recovery and we may well have reached the tipping point into growth, driven by returning confidence in the private sector.

“However, we are still to see the impact of the looming public sector recession on the jobs market, which will play out over the first twelve months of a new parliamentary term.”
