Antal Global Snapshot Ed. 10
Global employment survey finds professional jobs market still strong
Despite ongoing worries about fall-out from the eurozone crisis, a regular global survey of over 19,000 organisations in 52 countries has found jobs market for professionals and managers holding up well.
The ‘Antal Global Snapshot’ project from the multi-national recruitment firm, Antal International, asked 19,376 companies in major markets such as western and eastern Europe, Africa, India, China and the USA whether they were currently hiring at professional and managerial level.
It then asked whether they planned to do so in the coming quarter and whether they were currently letting staff go or were planning to do so in the next three months.
Current hiring levels across the globe were up with 55% of respondents recruiting at professional and managerial level in comparison to 52% in the last survey in July. 54% of organisations questioned also intended to hire in the coming quarter.
The rate of attrition was down slightly from 17% in February to 16% now and this was expected to drop to 15% over the next three months.
