Most SMEs have put off hiring 'due to economic climate'
The majority of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have not hired new staff recently because of the economic climate, a new poll has revealed.
Some seven in ten SMEs polled by huddlebuy.co.uk said the uncertain economic situation in the UK has affected their willingness to recruit new employees, possibly including some in sales jobs, reports Recruiter.
The research by the business group buying website also revealed that 95 per cent of small firm owners believe the government does not do enough to help SMEs in the country.
After the Budget announcement last week, SMEs expressed concerns that they will not see a significant impact from the proposals, according to a poll by the Federation of Small Businesses.
Nearly half (45 per cent) of those surveyed by the business group said they thought it would have little effect on the day-to-day operation of their business. However, a third said they thought it would boost their cashflow.
