The ‘Oh no, not another world cup blog’ Blog!

Having absolutely no interest in football (I’m a Leeds fan after all!) I’m already bored with the daily information overload that it’s almost impossible to escape from. With 11 days to go until the start, we’ve gone from drip feeding World Cup News (hereafter known as WC News!) to a veritable cascading torrent of it. I’m dreading what it’s going to be like if we reach the semi and finals.

All of which leaves me to find something else to write about. Have you seen the price of beer these days? When I were a lad…..

In all seriousness there are some key issues floating around that will have a major impact upon our economy and recruitment issues thereafter. The new government(s) has already announced some tough cuts in budgets that are already having an impact upon infrastructure funding and the public sector is now realising that it cannot continue to carry so many employees who for years have been playing the system. Which commercial organisation would have written into an employment contract an allowance of 21 days sick leave?

Fears of a double dip recession are still very real and it places even more importance on ensuring that your business either currently employs or goes out and recruits the best person for the job; whether that’s someone from a competitor or someone who comes in with a fresh perspective.

Whilst we have seen an upturn in assignments won in April and May, we’ve also seen a sharp rise in discussions about interim management as clients discuss holding off permanent recruitment until they are truly confident in their own market economy. Either way, InterSearch in the UK has the consultants with the expertise who can work with you to deliver the best employee to your business.
