The UK recruitment industry grew by 22.4% during 2006, with total sales reaching £32bn, Sue Dodd, director of Agile Intelligence, told the Recruiter Wealth Forum.

Dodd said the figure was based on government statistics as part of its survey of distribution services. This year's growth is already "pushing 12%", added Dodd.

Dodd said that while the economic outlook over a 10-year or even 30-year period was "fantastic", prospects over the next two to three years were "less benign". "Companies should now plan for a slowdown in 2008," said Dodd.
