SMEs look to hire staff


Nov 19 2009

Small businesses say they intend to take on more staff in the New Year.

One-quarter of SMEs are planning to hire in the next three months, of 2,000 small businesses surveyed by software company Sage.

Brendan Flattery, managing director of Sage’s small business division, says: ‘The fact that small businesses are starting to think about recruitment in such significant numbers is a very encouraging sign. But there is still a long way to go and good financial planning will be key to their recovery.’

However, the findings in the poll are in contrast to claims made by accountancy firm BDO that many companies will not be hiring more staff when the recovery comes.

Finding jobs at this time is very hard. I am an expert in working with and growing small businesses. I have decided to sell a day of my week to small businesses rather than look for one full time job. I believe this is a win win situation for all.
