RECRUITMENT agencies in Scotland reported an increase in permanent job placements for the second consecutive month in October – however the rate of growth eased and is lagging that of the UK as a whole.
Bank of Scotland's Report on Jobs found that although demand for permanent workers has increased, a number of jobs agencies reported some clients are taking a cautious approach towards hiring.
Temporary placements also rose in October. Although the pace of expansion slowed to a three-month low, it was better than the wider UK.
