Big rise in demand for office support within media entertainment and brand sectors

Despite a raft of recent downbeat surveys and statistics from organisations such as the CIPD; the entertainment, media and brand sectors are bucking the trend when it comes to office temporary job vacancies.

The third quarter market update from Handle Recruitment, a specialist in appointments within the entertainment, media and brand sectors, is reporting a staggering 123% upswing in temporary requirements as well as a rise of 16% in permanent vacancies when compared with quarter two.

“This is obviously good news,” says Brendon O’Sullivan, Director of Handle’s Office Temps Division as it suggests that increasing workload overall is driving demand for experienced administrative and office support staff. There has also been an increase in temp to perm positions suggesting that clients want to ‘try before they buy’.”
