UK: Employers start to plan for future with rise in recruitment intentions (The

Times) 

- Business confidence is lifting itself off the floor as the economy emerges

from lockdown. In a survey of 2,000 businesses across the UK a net balance of

-46 per cent of respondents told the Recruitment & Employment Confederation that

they were optimistic. The reading, though still bleak, is an improvement of 17

percentage points from May, meaning that although businesses remain negative

about the outlook, pessimism is easing. The stronger outlook is having an impact

on hiring intentions, with a growing number of businesses saying they plan to

expand their workforce over the next three months. A net balance of 6 per cent

of respondents said they would increase recruitment, up 11 percentage points

from May.
