RECRUITMENT group Hays enjoyed like-for-like fee growth of 21% in the last quarter to December 31, it said today.
Its continental Europe and rest of the world operations recorded growth of 37%, Asia Pacific operations improved by 36%, and the UK and Ireland market managed a modest 1% improvement.
The group, which has three Liverpool sites on Dale Street, Silkhouse Court and the Corn Exchange, revealed the permanent jobs sector showed the biggest like-for-like increase of 42%, compared with 7% in the temporary jobs market.
Chief executive Alistair Cox said: “The outlook remains good across nearly all of our markets, including the UK private sector, and we continue to increase consultant headcount in order to capture the opportunities for growth.”
Liverpool stockbroker Panmure Gordon said the second quarter update looks better than expected.
