London, United Kingdom (08 August, 2011) - Detail2Retail, a leading retail recruitment company in the UK, comment on the current retail employment slump as a result of the recent recession. Detail2Retail are passionate about adding value to their clients' recruitment strategies and helping them to proper in what is a challenging economic climate, which is why they continually aim to find the best candidates to help organisations drive growth and profitability. Detail2Retail provide a commercial and consultative approach to both their clients and candidates alike ensuring that they consistently deliver against the brief they have given. Due to the recent stagnation of UK retail sales, many retailers are suffering from squeezed margins and cash flow. Some retailers are expanding to the overseas market to recover from the UK's negative sales growth. Retail employment reportedly fell by 0.4% in the second quarter of 2011; therefore, there are now 3,100 fewer retail jobs and it appears this employment slump is showing no signs of recovery in the near future, as the retail employment monitor fell by 0.2% in April, 0.4% in May and 0.7% in June. This is also the first time that the retail jobs monitor has recorded a decline in three consecutive months. It appears that non-food retailers have been hit the worst by the decline in employment, as 25% of the retailers stated they plan to reduce their staff levels throughout the quarter. On the flip side, there are always success stories even in challenging environments and many companies who are focusing on quality of product, value and service turning in some solid results. Likewise, retailers are a highly entrepreneurial bunch constantly evolving their businesses and sniffing out new opportunities, and retailers who are on their game recognise there is an opportunity to steal a march on their competitors during these times. The bottom line is in a tough market place you need to employ the best people that you can in order to stay ahead of the competition and to ensure stability and growth. From the guys on the shop floor through to the head office and senior operational teams, we encourage our clients to employ the very best people they can afford. The American investment guru, Warren Buffet said "Price is what you pay, value is what you get". Therefore, employers should not look at recruitment as an expensive burden, but as a valuable resource that delivers above and beyond what they are currently experiencing in their organisation. In order for an organisation to compete with their industry rivals, they need to act fast and secure the best candidates for the job before they seek employment at one of their competitors. A spokesperson for Detail2Retail commented: "We are a pro-active headhunting company that can provide organisations with upper-mid management level candidates across store management and head office roles, and we are committed to only providing companies with potential employees who we believe could make a significant difference to their organisation. We recognise that recruitment is a considerable investment and we strive to add value to our clients across all areas of the recruitment process."
