It seems as if theories made just before the end of 2007 have been correct, the recent state of the British economy has many inhabitants of the UK feeling the financial stress. ‘The consequences of not managing your money properly can be devastating’ according to Chris Pond of the FSA although this is obvious for most of us, what has changed is the pardoning nature of the credit companies and banks who would always give assistance to those in this difficult position of being late with the bills.

The amalgamation of increased utility bills, food and fuel bills have left the average employee less disposable income than this time last year despite any increases in income, so what can people do? The possibility of new higher paid employment becomes fundamental to the average employee, although the recruitment market itself is also becoming more concentrated. The CIPD had estimated the possible number of people to lose their jobs as 150,000. John Philpott, the chief economist, stated that 2008 would be ‘easily the worst since the Labour Government came to control in 1997’.

This dip in employment together with the increased need for enhanced wages will be increasing the strain on the job market and people will have to adopt a modern approach to finding their desired job or candidate. The way the general public try to find their employees and employers has changed radically over the last decade. More internet savvy employers are accustomed to using recruitment agencies and employees are using websites that are advertising jobs. Employees don't have the free time to fill in lots of forms and so submit their Curriculum Vitae online in the hope that an employer or recruitment agent can find the job for them.

The usage of an agency can be quite an expensive one, with a high number of recruitment agencies charging up to 10% of the candidates annual salary upon accepted placing of a applicant. If the available job is is not perminant, they expect to be paid considerably more, it might even double the wage. The temp receives only half of what the recruitment agency does. There are unquestionable benefits to using a employment agency though, the transition period between the position is shorter which gives a smoother transition between new and old employee and lower chance of customer discontent.

Due to mounting inflation, some smaller businesses will feel the pressure, leaving them with a growing problem of escalationg utility bills. The loss of normal working conditions can cause unrest amoungst staff and this leaves supervisors with the lenghty process of interviews and applications, but without the fiancial resources to advertise positions or pay agent fees forms, the company can suffer.

A suggestion is to look thoroughly for a employment agency that might be specifically within your businesses area of expertise. Negotiate the the fees they would be billing you for a successful positioning of a candidate. Guarentee your fee is not expected if the candidate should decide to leave, after all they might get a better offer! The company looking for employees has the advantage of a large recruitment market though, with many recruitment agencies searching for you, finding one that offers the lowest rate (percentage of salary or even a fixed price) for finding your ideal candidate would be advised.
