Figures have shown that the number of people placed in new positions by recruitment agencies rose in August, which may interest those trying to set up a recruitment agency.

The study, published by KPMG, shows that the number of people going into both permanent and temporary positions via recruitment agencies has increased.

However, the research also shows that the rate of growth has actually decreased again - and it has been steadily reducing since March this year.

There were similar findings for the increase in demand for both permanent and temporary positions, which also experienced less growth in August.

The availability of permanent staff declined, while that of temporary staff climbed slightly.

Recently, the Office for National Statistics reported that male unemployment fell between April and June this year, compared to a rise in female jobseekers.
