There has been a significant uplift in the recruitment market in the last few months with an increased number of vacancies coming into our recruitment teams and a renewed interest in driving initiatives forward by appointing interim managers or teams of contract staff said Nigel Oxbrow, TFPLís Chief Executive. After two years of ístallingí many of our clients are now keen to refresh their efforts of achieving improved business performance through a focus on knowledge and information. They are looking for strategic advice, professional coaching and for people who can apply knowledge and information skills to a broad range of business challenges and in the context of the organisations strategic objectives. We have adapted our own capability to reflect these new demands and now offer an even wider range of flexible and integrated services.
