The rapid rise in the employment of executives over the last 3 months has paused, falling by 2% in October compared to the prior month, in a reflection of the “uncertain times”, and with hiring of executives in the Information Technology sector falling into negative territory for the month, according to executive search firm EL Consult.

Demand for executives in the ICT sector in July dropped 3%, unable to continue from its small gain of the previous month, as executive employment across all business and industry sectors plunged for the sixth month in a row.

The rising and falling demand for executives in the ICT sector continues, with demand in August falling sharply by 10% after two consecutive months of increases, according to the latest demand index from EL Consult.
