During times of economic stress, people tend to stick with the job they have rather than look for new employment. Candidates with skills in compliance and risk are currently in short supply in the financial and accounting industry.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\">Permanent salary growth rate increases<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The rise in starting salaries for permanent candidates has increased, possibly caused by the high number of successful senior-level placements during August.\u00a0 The shortage of suitable candidates may also have triggered this growth in starting salary, to attract talented candidates that are reluctant to move jobs. A recent analysis into remuneration by Recruitment Connection Ltd shows this trend is likely favour medium to large size businesses, as they are able to scale up and offer larger company benefit packages to attract and retain talent.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To find out more about our latest insights, roles, or\u00a0assistance we can provide with your recruitment needs, please contact the team:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:enquiries@recruitment-connection.co.uk\">Email<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/uk.linkedin.com\/company\/recruitment-connection-ltd\">LinkedIn<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/simonabean\">Twitter<\/a>\u00a0 | \u00a001372 237058<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Permanent placements return to pre-Brexit levels.
