Recruitment companies in London are moving into flexible, serviced office space, so they can expand and contract in response to seasonal trends, according to MWB Business Exchange.

It said demand for temporary offices from the sector had increased 10% in the last year in Canary Wharf, the City and the West End.
John Spencer, chief executive of MWB Business Exchange, says: “The recruitment sector is very cyclical, with demand for services changing through the year.  This makes flexible offices very attractive to recruitment firms.”

He adds: “ With an increasing number of small niche players in the recruitment market, we fully expect the use of serviced offices to continue to rise as companies use them as part of their expansion strategy.”
