Over all August was a strong month for Velocity despite an obvious reduction in permanent positions. The temp market has been steady with a definite increase in short term temp assignments due to sick leave or extended holidays. There has also been a huge number of our current temps being offered fixed term or perm roles within companies, which reflects the high calibre of people Velocity have out there temping.
The market seems to be reverting back to the days when candidates had many choices and were in situations with multiple offers on the table. We have not seen many bidding wars for candidates, however, those clients who move faster, keep the communication open throughout the process and put their best offer forward are the ones securing the talent. With quality candidates being in high demand, Velocity has employed a Sourcing Consultant to ensure that we have the edge in attracting the best talent in the market for our clients when roles come in.
Numerous roles in different disciplines coming in from one client is a trend that we continue to observe. There has also been a marked increase in recruitment from professional services sector, with both temporary and permanent roles, for Team Secretaries and PA's.
