Corporate finance recruitment to see steady rise

Employers are reporting improved financial statuses and a slight rise in their recruitment drives, according to new figures.


Data from the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) and Grant Thornton may interest those looking for corporate finance jobs as it indicated firms across Britain are beginning to emerge from the downturn.

"Businesses have reported the smallest annual fall in staff numbers since [quarter one of] 2009, expecting the number of employees to increase by 1.1 per cent in the next year," the ICAEW stated.


The news followed a recent announcement by the Office for National Statistics that the UK employment rate went up by 0.3 per cent in the three months to June 2010.

Companies are suggesting the upturn in the economy is making it harder to retain their staff members, the ICAEW went on to say, which is a result of more vacancies coming on to the market.
