"We have seen 2010 start very positively and are experiencing a definite improvement in market sentiment and recruitment activity. Although there are still a number of individuals finding it hard to secure employment within HR, we are hopeful that those numbers will decrease during the year. We have always stated that our high quality reputation within the HR recruitment market is down to the quality of the people that we employ and we are delighted to keep that benchmark at a very high level.
