An analysis of 48 market sectors by recruitment software company Broadbean has revealed highs and lows for the month of June.
Broadbean’s data, which covers 60,000 users globally, found that both permanent and temporary vacancies were slightly down on a month-on-month basis (by 6.9% and 4.5% respectively), but had risen compared with the same period last year.
Compared with June 2012, permanent vacancies had risen by 6.5%, while temporary openings experienced a strong increase of 14.5%.
Education and training were the two most active sectors, with both showing strong quarterly growth in permanent vacancies, according to Broadbean. Electronics and new media experienced the strongest decline in demand for permanent roles.
In temporary vacancies, automotive was again one of the strongest performing sectors, with roles up by 50.5% over the quarter and 61.9% year on year.
Telecommunications witnessed the largest fall in temporary vacancy demand, dropping 26% over the quarter. Travel and tourism and advertising and PR also experienced heavy declines of more than 20%, based on Broadbean’s data.
There was a 4% increase in applications per vacancy during June, yet salaries dropped for a fourth consecutive month – this time by 0.6%.
