For some time now the messages around the economy have all been of a positive nature, all the signs seem to be pointing towards recovery, it is a slow recovery but a recovery nonetheless. This is without doubt the impression we are getting from the media, however in my recent experience it would seem that we are still a little way from that media confidence fully translating to the jobs market. There has been a perception that the market is very much a “ buyer’s market ”, with salaries and day-rates on offer from organisations remaining low. Some companies have been “ hedging their bets ”  by looking to fill a short-term need with a  fixed-term contract rather than a day-rate. Again, maintaining they have the luxury of waiting for the “perfect candidate” too. A number of organisations were successful in this however recent experiences would indicate that there is a shift in that balance and good quality candidates may find they have a choice of roles. Are candidates starting to gain the upper hand?
