The 100 second salary guide and market overview for the London office support sector

The 100 second salary guide and market overview for the London office support sector

 

For those of you who missed Lyn Cecil, our MD on Newsnight being grilled by Jeremy Paxman on Tuesday 26^th January – he survived!  Asked to comment on whether the recession was over, given a 0.1% increase, i.e. a one thousandth, in GDP in the last quarter of 2009, she agreed that is seemed to be, but was fragile.

 

• We have seen a marked increase in the number of permanent vacancies notified since late November, and a significant increase in temp usage in January, but levels are still half those of 2007/2008. Salaries in the private sector remain static, some have dropped. 
• There has been no increase in the recruitment of part timers, as has happened at the beginning of previous upturns.
• There has been a massive increase with ad response levels, but of a very low calibre overall. 
• More candidates applying are in employment currently than we have seen in the past 12 months. 

 

If you are recruiting permanent staff, remember we offer you a 100 day / 100% guarantee i.e. a replacement or full refund should your candidate leave within  14 weeks 2 days.  Since starting this guarantee in Jun 1998 we have made only 4 refunds to date, and we successfully placed in excess of 1500 people in that time.  If minute taking is within the job spec, we can now test this with a minute taking assessment exercise.

 

Ever need temporaries?  We now offer a 24/7 service.  If you know late the night before or early in the morning that your receptionist or PA will not be in, just leave a message or call 07522 940 371 and we will have somebody there for 8:30/9:00 so there are no hiccoughs.  There is a full no quibble guarantee on our temporary staff.

 

Clients are also offered the opportunity to attend complimentary seminars – mediation, redundancy counselling and Human Capital have been the most recent.  Future seminars include “Emotional Capital – how to give your company a competitive edge”, “The Agency Workers Directive, what does it mean, how will HR implement” and a charity garden party in the summer.

 

Please call us on 020 7493 7001 if you need any help or advice.
