Graduate Job News

Aquent, a specialist recruitment consultant in marketing and design, has produced a report which suggests that there could be a real upsurge in the number of general and graduate marketing jobs available in the UK.

The European Market Eye report canvasses the opinions and predictions of agencies working in marketing, advertising, design and digital services. 4 in 5 of the agencies surveyed expected the number of people employed in design, advertising and marketing jobs to rise as a whole. Around 60 per cent of the organisations expected that the swell in numbers in the sector would be in roles for permanent staff as opposed to temporary positions.

There was also good cheer for salaries in the design and marketing job sector with the number of companies expecting to increase salaries doubling for the second half of the year compared to the first six months of 2010.

Peter Geary, UK Regional Director at Aquent, said, “The UK marketing and design sector was hit hard by the global downturn and after 18 months of little hiring across the industry, we’re certainly now seeing signs of recovery and the market hotting up”

We have job search pages dedicated to specific job descriptions in specific towns and cities all over the UK.
