|  Welcome
to the first issue of Human Resourcefulness
in 2010
The recent news
that, finally, we are ‘officially
out of recession’ (if only by a
positive growth rate of 0.1%!) is welcome
indeed and, taken alongside the recent,
more positive statistics on unemployment,
I’m sure that we’re all breathing
a collective, if cautious, sigh of relief.
It’s often said that the recruitment
business is a pretty good barometer of
what’s occurring in the wider business
world and our own numbers would seem to
reflect the slow upturn. In fact, December
2009 marked Digby Morgan’s fifth
consecutive month of increased ‘new
job orders taken’ when compared
to the equivalent months in 2008.
Interestingly, recent months have seen
a more buoyant senior end of the market
and, as you’ll read in more detail
elsewhere in our newsletter, some sectors
are seeing significant levels of business
growth. Although much of this is cyclical
and we wouldn’t necessarily expect
it to continue at this level through the
year, it’s all very welcome.
Finally, I’d like to thank everyone
for consistently choosing Digby Morgan
to source HR talent and to make career
moves - we appreciate the belief and support
that you have shown in our brand over
the past twenty plus years. Without a
doubt, 2010 will still be a challenging
year for all of us but we are increasingly
positive about the market, are seeing
plenty of activity and are predicting
further growth. The strategic role and
importance of HR continues to rise and
has certainly been proven over the last
few years.
I hope you enjoy our newsletter and please
do come back to me with your feedback
for future editions.
John Maxted
CEO
