Vacancies within finance and accounting were particularly strong, increasing by 21 per cent.
Ann Swain, Chief Executive of APSCo said: “The perpetual war for talent means that contract vacancies are consistently strong, despite an increase in permanent roles.
"Contract vacancies within finance and accounting are particularly high as financial institutions bring on board niche-skill sets on a project basis to manage change.
"Monumental shifts in the UK banking sector, such as impending ring-fencing legislation, structural reorganisation and changes in customer behaviour mean that specialists are needed to ensure that the sector is future-fit. There is simply not the supply to fulfil demand.”
