Consulting and real estate advertised vacancies continue to decline, while there has been a rise in the number of public sector and medicines posts in the past six months, claims management jobsite Experteer.co.uk’s jobs monitor.

The monitor shows that public sector and medicine vacancies rose by 13% and 10% respectively, while consulting and real estate showed the biggest relative declines.
 
Torsten Muth, managing director of Experteer.co.uk, says: “While there is no denying that it has never been tougher to secure a senior position, senior vacancies are still in existence in particular industries.

“Executives in the consulting and real estate professions should consider carefully whether their experience might be relevant to other job functions or other disciplines.”
