It’s Not All Good News
February 18, 2010 by Damian
2010 has started off with a sense of renewed confidence in the legal recruitment market. There is ‘cautious optimism’ that this year will see an increase in the amount of vacancies around which will bring a sigh of relief to numerous jobseekers who are keen (and have been for a while) to move on from their current roles.
I concur with this optimistic view of what 2010 will bring but the news that has come from the South Island this week – see link below - is a reminder that the market is by no means stable and there will continue to be some bumps along the road before we can safely say that we are ‘back to normal’ (whatever that is).

The message that I have taken from this unfortunate development is that we should not just have blind faith in the recovery and we must realise that any optimism for the year ahead should indeed be ‘cautious’.
An important caveat to this article is that a final decision has not been made by Anderson Lloyd so it is not certain that there will in fact be redundancies made. However, the message of caution for the rest of us still stands.
