previous quarter to post a 27% increase, while China’s hiring
activities increased by 153%, followed by Russia (26%) and Brazil
(18%).
South America and Mexico showed a 19% decrease
in demand, and with Mexico dropping 55% in the index over the past
two quarters, a shift in sentiment towards hiring in the country
appears to have set in.
The hiring appears to have been fairly broad
based across captive finance organisations as well as global and
local banks, according to ZRG.
Europe, including the UK, posted a 13% decline
during the quarter with both France (-38%) and Germany (-15%)
showing weaker demand for new hiring. The UK’s numbers were
flat.
