A new report has suggested that serviced offices in Edinburgh could see a staff growth in 2011 as businesses express plans to hire more permanent workers.
The Recruitment and Employment Confederation's (REC) latest JobsOutlook outlines how 21 per cent of companies' long term plans involve taking on employees throughout the next 12 months.
It is suggested that recruitment shows positive signs but that hiring will be approached cautiously by many organisations.
Roger Tweedy, the REC's director of research, explained that the feedback highlights the idea that "fluidity is returning to the jobs market".
"It is encouraging to see that employers are setting great store in building flexibility into their workforces for the short and long term while the economy remains in such a fragile state," he added.
Elsewhere, the REC recently commented on the government's announcement that the Default Retirement Age will be scrapped by suggesting employers will be the key to helping older workers explore different opportunities.
