Thu, 10 Jul 2014Unadvertised senior executive vacancies increased by 19% in June 2014 compared to the same month last year, according to figures released by specialist recruitment agent InterExec.

InterExec, which describes itself as a confidential agent for international executives earning £150k to £1m+, said that with the UK economy showing consistent steady growth and real signs of long-term recovery, its target senior executive market is responding with an increased demand for high-quality candidates from both the UK and overseas.

"Senior executive candidates who are currently considering their next career move have rarely over the last five years had such a positive market to search in," said Kit Scott-Brown, InterExec managing director.

“Unearthing the unadvertised roles is crucial for candidates in identifying outstanding opportunities, but with such a buoyant market, 2014 seems to be an ideal time to step up onto the ladder."

In a number of key business sectors year-on-year growth based on the most recent June analysis by InterExec shows the following positive numbers:

  • Financial services up 15%
  • Technology, media and telecom up 69%
  • Oil & gas up 26%

Only the professional services sector is showing a slowdown of nearly a third year on year.

Salary brackets have also been steadily increasing and again, comparing June 2014 with June 2013, salaries up to £500k are up 10%, while salaries over £500k have seen an average market increase up to 25%.
