Research Data – UK Recruitment

This is a small project to find some key values/data points for a document I am preparing. I am expecting the researcher to find these values from within the internet. Each value must be from a credible source (govt body, industry print, leading UK paper article or news agency) with link or reference to the data and any calculation applied. The data sort is as follows: 1. Approximately how many temporary contract role/assignment are issued each day by the UK recruitment industry 2. Approximately how much money (GBP) does the UK recruitment industry spend on advertising (job boards) and CV searching each year. A year to date or for 2014 will suffice 3. What is the average duration (number of days) for a temporary role/assignment in the UK 4. What is the average hourly rate or day rate (GBP) for a temporary role/assignment in the UK Approximately how many recruitment agencies are there in the following UK cities (branches of same agency can be counted as individual agencies); o London o Birmingham, o Glasgow o Bristol, o Leeds, o Manchester, o Liverpool, o Edinburgh, o Cardiff, o Sheffield, o Edinburgh
