Online recruitment relatively flat in June

Jobs news mixed depending on industry
Monster is reporting its employment index fell by one point in June reflecting very modest decline in online recruitment activity - a trend that is largely in line with seasonal expectations.

Staffing companies suffering from negative working capital may see a pick-up in demand for services and improved cash flow if they specialize in filling real estate-related or legal services positions.

Monster Worldwide says that labor demand in the real estate, rental and leasing industry increased in June.

Educational services also showed signs of life with a pick-up in recruitment activity and legal and protective services posted the strongest monthly increases in online job availability last month.

"While U.S. online job availability has remained largely flat since January, the annual pace improved during the second quarter, suggesting some expansion in underlying employer demand for workers," said Jesse Harriott, senior vice president and chief knowledge officer at Monster Worldwide.

However, Harriot says that online job vacancies are at their lowest level in over four years.
