We are all very familiar with the difficult economic times we are living through. But every cloud has a silver lining. The war for talent that we have been hearing about for such a long time, while not over, may be in a period of permanent ceasefire. The recruitment market is a lot looser than it was a year ago. In spite of everything, now is a good time to be recruiting.
As if to illustrate this fact, Scotland’s leading recruitment site, s1jobs.com recently recorded its busiest ever day this week, receiving over 50,000 visits in one day. This figure built on a successful year for s1jobs in 2008, which saw an 18% increase in traffic year on year, and its winning of the National Online Recruitment Awards Best Regional Jobsite for the sixth year in a row, but may well be indicative of the changed economic environment.
Mark Smith, s1 Managing Director said, “It’s a difficult time for job seekers and these figures show that we are still recognised as the first place to look for jobs in Scotland. The increased traffic levels will in turn result in better return on investment for recruiters, as application rates continue to grow.”
