The company’s financial results for the year ending 30 November 2014 also showed that gross profit for the contract side of the business was up 27% year-on-year and 36% year-on-year for Q4. On the permanent side, gross profit was up 6% year-on-year and 36% year-on-year for Q4.  

Gary Elden, chief executive of SThree, said: "Looking ahead, the strength of the contract book and improving permanent performance gives us a strong base to grow the business.”

But Elden added that “deteriorating” economic conditions in the Eurozone and a significant reduction in global oil prices in recent weeks had “added some caution to the outlook”.
