Riada has experienced a real increase in the rate of hiring by companies across Northern Ireland.. According to the latest report by KPMG and REC UK, permanent vacancies rose at a record pace in May 2021, the fastest for over 23 years...while vacancies for temporary workers also grew substantially. This rise in permanent staff appointments are in part due to improved market confidence amid a further reopening of the UK economy.
Signs that the economy is recovering quickly can also be seen in the KPMG and Recruitment & Employment Confederation index which puts permanent placements to 67.4, well above the 50 mark that indicates a majority of businesses reporting an increase in permanent hires compared with the previous month.
