Marketing vacancies in public sector

The public sector is experiencing a steady rise in the number of marketing jobs available, it has been claimed.

According to recruitment consultancy Hays, certain skill sets, such as communication roles, are experiencing an increase in demand in the difficult economic climate because there is a greater need for employers to improve levels of employee engagement, drive productivity and push the efficiency agenda.

The company added that the increased job security and range of flexible benefits offered are luring communications professionals away from the private sector.

Matt Anderson, managing director at the company, commented: "Given the intense competition for roles at the moment, jobseekers need to show a strong degree of commercial awareness and be able to communicate with internal and external stakeholders alike."

Research carried out by the organisation indicates 73 per cent of people cite a greater level of job security as the main reason for considering a switch of sectors, followed by an improved work-life balance (59 per cent) and the enhanced benefits on offer in the public sector (37 per cent).

Earlier this week, the Recruitment and Employment Confederation claimed sales recruitment agencies are key resources for those looking at job vacancies due to their knowledge about the sector and the key companies within it.
