Majority of senior executives 'seeking a new role'

The majority of senior executives are seeking a role in a different organisation, with recruitment rates rising steadily during the last 12 months, a new report shows.

Research carried out by the Association of Executive Search Consultants (AESC) as part of its first quarter report shows that seven out of ten senior executives are currently looking for a new role, marking a seven per cent rise on the data recorded in the final three months of 2010.

In particular, activity was high in the technology and financial services industries, with a significant boost in searchers since the last quarter.

Peter Felix, president of the AESC, commented: "Our first quarter industry statistics demonstrate that demand for executive talent is being sustained at the recovery levels of 2010 and that a solid foundation is being created for further growth in 2011."

It comes after data issued by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation and KPMG showed that the number of permanent job placements in the UK, including those in sales recruitment, rose once again in April, the latest industry figures have revealed.
