"We are at a post-slowdown high," he added, noting appointments have climbed by 15 to 18 per cent during the 12 months to March 2011.

The piece went on to state many other recruitment specialists suggest hiring has reached a high, with strong job creation in sectors such as IT, telecoms, fast-moving consumer goods, manufacturing, mining, education, retail, finance, real estate and construction.
