Wed, 12 Mar 2014Recruitment agencies are still the most popular way for contractors to find work, according to the latest survey from SJD Accountancy.
Over a third of those questioned by the UK-based specialist contractor accountancy firm said they are still finding their contracts through a recruitment agency, a statistic that has remained consistent over the last two years, says SJD.
Although other sources such as LinkedIn were mentioned as good channels to find a contract role, its influence on finding employment remained the same at around 2% across all surveys.
Of those questioned 71% said they had a positive experience using a recruitment agency, a 25% increase from 2012.
Claire Johnson, managing director of SJD Accountancy, says: “What is clear from this latest survey is that as the industry continues to recover from periods of uncertainty, recruiters have remained steadfast in helping place contract roles.”
