Graduate Job News

Good news for finalists - a new recruitment study has revealed that the number of jobs available when they leave university has gone up.

The Manpower Employment Outlook Survey has indicated that UK employers in a large number of industries plan to increase the number of employees hired over the next three months.

It will be the third consecutive quarter to show a rise in job numbers.

Employers planning to hire more staff include those in the utilities, finance, business, retail and hotel sectors.

Mark Cahill of Manpower UK said: "Hiring amongst finance and business services employers is still strong although this brings continuing challenges of recruiting quality staff to meet demand.

"Additional Manpower research shows that accounting and finance staff are amongst the most difficult positions to fill in the UK and the number of vacancies is also increasing."

Manpower is one of the UK's leading recruitment agencies with branches throughout the UK.

Agencies such as Manpower offer students the opportunity to work in a temporary capacity during their university vacations.

Many students choose to join such agencies while at university - wages in office-based temporary work are often significantly higher than those earned by students in the retail sector or in bar and restaurant jobs.
