London firms are getting more optimistic about plans to hire more staff this year, new figures show, but most companies still have no plan to up their headcounts.
The KPMG and REC London labour-market pulse check, supported by BusinessLDN, rated London’s hiring outlook at 40.4. That’s an improvement from April’s 35.3, but still remains firmly below 50, which is the cut-off for negative sentiment.
