Over 200 UK recruiters are ending the year in financial difficulty, according to a new report from Plimsoll. Author of the report, David Pattison, says: “Having clung on through the bad times, many of these struggling companies are going to run out of time and fail just before the recovery really takes hold. Sadly, some of them are just too weak to carry on and there will be a spike of failures in the New Year. On the flipside, their
demise will bring a welcome reduction in competitive pressure for those left.” The 2010 Plimsoll Industry Analysis, which assesses every firm in the UK recruitment agencies industry, is available now. Recruiter readers can get a £50 discount (call 01642 626400 and quote reference PR/AA10.
