Property & construction

The property and construction sector has been under pressure for the last three years but as we enter 2011 there is a newfound optimism, borne out by the upsurge in recruitment. Confidence is starting to rise as a result in increased investment in projects.

Implications for the executive recruitment market

Recent trends include the tendency for candidates to put job security high on the agenda. Indeed, it seems any kind of developmental move is on hold unless an opportunity can be considered ‘exceptional’. However confidence in the market is growing with more senior recruitment assignments being awarded.
