LONDON: Indications are clear that the economy is in the midst of an upturn, but further to this positive news, hiring the right staff will be the next challenge facing companies -according to recruitment specialist the Real Staffing Group.

"It is becoming increasingly clear that we are seeing an upturn," said Justin Armstrong, head of the recruitment specialist's Banking and Finance division. "We have seen a remarkable 125% increase over the past six months in the number of permanent job placements, indicating a new willingness to invest in the longer term by the big banks."

However, as companies begin to draw out of 'recession mode', they will apparently encounter new challenges as they recognise the need to address staffing requirements across multiple departments. This follows from the redundancies most organisations have had to make over the past two years.

David Rees, Director of the Real Staffing Group, explained: "It was identifying this new need in our clients that has led us to rebrand from Real Resourcing and become the Real Staffing Group."

Real Staffing is a merger of several recruitment agencies, each having a different area of specialisation. This enables the new brand to now fill a variety of roles in Accountancy, Banking & Finance, Engineering, Healthcare, IT, Pharmaceuticals & Biotech and the Public Sector.

When asked about the significant upturn the recruiter has been seeing, David answered with a caveat: "The numbers are very positive, there's no denying this. But we are probably a bit ahead of the game compared to the other big recruiters, as 70% of this is repeat business [from existing clients].

"This has been achieved through the quality of the people we place - our new brand is all about 'recognising talent', which has been the key to our loyal client base and success both before and throughout the recession."
