 Part-time staff recruitment in London is on the up once again in the aftermath of the global economic downturn, new research has suggested.According to a study published by the Interim Management Association (IMA) yesterday (September 21st), the use of temporary professionals in the private sector is now almost back at the levels seen prior to the onset of the recession. Before the slump hit, figures showed the hiring of interim managers by companies was weighted at around 70/30 in favour of firms in the private arena in comparison to their public sector counterparts. And data collated in the IMA's quarterly market audit show that this is now back up to around 61/39, which represents a significant shift from figures recorded in 2009, when use of such experts was equal. From the beginning of next month, conditions for temporary workers across all fields in Britain are set to improve with the implementation of the government's new Agency Workers' Regulations. Under the terms of this employment law reform, organisations will be legally obliged to offer the same working conditions to their interim members of staff as their full-time employees after the former group have been with them for a period of 12 weeks. And it appears that temporary staff looking for roles such as finance jobs in London may be in particular demand from companies in the near future, as IMS data showed that the banking sector is making the strongest use of high-end interim managers. Jason Atkinson, chair of the IMA, noted this trend is likely to be being driven by the attraction temporary staff provide in terms of their flexibility. "Clearly, we welcome the buoyancy that we are seeing in the private sector when it comes to deploying interim assignments and believe it is indicative of how companies are using specialist resource to help them drive economic recovery and build a platform for growth," he stated.
