HR jobs drought confirmed by drop in online vacancies
Demand for HR professionals has plummeted to its second lowest level in a year, suggesting that last month’s rise in the sector was just a blip.
The March 2009 Monster Employment Index of online job vacancies for HR professionals fell from 72 in February to 59 - just seven points away from January’s 13-month low of 52, confirming the continuing decline in the availability of HR jobs - contrary to signs last month that the sector was improving.
