UK finance directors across all sectors are predicting a rise in recruitment expenditure this year, according to the ‘FD Recruit 2015 Forecast’.
The forecast is based on the views of almost 500 finance directors and was compiled by senior finance appointment specialists FD Recruit.
It found that three quarters of finance directors would either match or increase their recruitment budgets from last year.
Expansion plans and a more mobile labour market were two reasons behind the expected increase in spend.
FD Recruit director Phil Scott said the optimism of finance directors was “great news for the recruitment sector”.
“[It] means finance directors are reporting to us that they are prepared to ‘push the button’ on expansion plans and begin increasing employee numbers.
“At the same time, the stabilising economy is giving employees more confidence to seek out new jobs,” he added.
“We expect employee turnover to rise in 2015 as individuals seek out new and better suited roles, and finance directors are budgeting for this trend.”
