And one more thing ...

Many candidates are concerned about changing their jobs in the current economic climate. Their key worry is a case of ‘last in first out’ if their new employer needs to make redundancies

 

I’ve looked at the statistics based on candidates I’ve placed during the past 4 years (ie during the credit crunch / recession), and the actual facts are as follows: -

 

95% of candidates placed during the past 2 years remain in the companies they moved to

 

82% of candidates placed during the past 4 years still remain in the companies they moved to

 

Only 1 candidate placed in the past 4 years has been made redundant, which equates to 1.2%
