UK economic recovery could be boosted by student entrepreneurs, which may be of interest to those looking to set up a recruitment agency.

John King of the University of London's Careers Group comments that the UK needs more new, successful businesses to recover from the recession - and that it is young businesspeople that are most likely to start these.

"Careers services are excited by the positive attitudes of entrepreneurial students who are responding to challenging economic circumstances resiliently," he says.

Recent research from Hiscox shows that students rate creativity above academic prowess when it comes to entrepreneurial success, with 40 per cent citing creative thinking as the most important quality.

Meanwhile, 82 per cent of respondents think that young businesspeople have founded some of the best companies.
