Employers feel buzz for April 12 reopening with hiring spree

Hiring activity picked up at its fastest pace in almost six years last month as companies prepared for the national lockdown to ease, a survey of employers has found.

With pubs and restaurants allowed to serve customers outdoors and shops, hairdressers and gyms reopening from April 12, employers stepped up their recruitment plans. For the first month this year, permanent starting salaries increased. Temporary salaries also rose in March at the fastest rates since December 2019.
