This Key Note report analyses the permanent appointments market of the recruitment industry. The report covers those companies that are engaged in general permanent recruitment, executive recruitment and executive search. According to the industry's trade body, The Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), the value of this market in the year to April/May 2001 was £1.81bn, with the number of appointments totalling 506,531.
Secretarial and clerical appointments represent around 32 percent of the market, while computing appointments equal around 13 percent and technical/engineering appointments account for around 11 percent of the market.
The major companies active within the permanent recruitment market include Adecco Holdings (UK) Ltd, TMP Worldwide Ltd, Michael Page International PLC, Solutions in Staffing and Software Ltd, Pertemps Recruitment Partnership Ltd, Brook Street (UK) Ltd, PSD Group PLC, Carlisle Group PLC, Human Resource Group PLC and Extra Personnel Ltd. Most of the businesses operating are UK-owned, with exceptions including Adecco, Brook Street and TMP Worldwide.
The market had been growing at a phenomenal rate up until the middle of 2001. Since then it has weakened, with some sectors — notably information technology (IT)/telecoms — declining sharply.
Three issues have attracted the attention of the market during 2001. The first is how to live with the possibility of an economic downturn or even a recession. The second is how to adapt to the growth of Internet usage. The third is the Government's proposed new Employment Agencies Act Regulations, which have been the subject of much lobbying since 1999 when they were first drawn up.
Key Note forecasts that the value of the market will fall in 2002 by 3.3 percent, but that it will grow again in 2003 by 10.3 percent. By the end of 2006, the market should be worth £3.13bn. However, the whole of Key Note's forecast is based on the assumption that the UK will avoid a serious and prolonged recession. If economic or political events outside the UK should worsen, then the prospects for a UK recession would become more likely.
