2. Abstract
The Montague Consult International Industry Sector Hiring Comparison Report is a
comprehensive statistical analysis report of the hiring intentions from nine key industry
sectors, namely Agriculture, Community & Social, Construction, Finance & Business Services,
Hotels & Retail, Manufacturing, Mining, Transport & Communication and Utilities. The
reports have been compiled from analysing information gained from the Manpower Global
Employment Outlook Survey, the Antal International Global Snapshot and information from
various international Governmental Offices in relation to the economic performance. The
figures shown are representative of more than 2,500 employers surveyed globally, where
each percentage point is assigned in-line with the employer’s intention to or consideration
to hire within that quarter period. Averages are based upon the percentage points gained
and divided by a given period i.e. quarter or year or by the number of Countries for averages
for global regions i.e. Americas, Asia Pacific or EMEA.
The reports will be available in two formats, the first will be the International Comparison
broken down by global regions namely Americas, Asia Pacific and EMEA. The second will be
a Country Specific report which will cover 42-Countries. Both will contain information
broken down by Industry Sector, by Year and by Quarter together with a full analysis report
in each case and a analytical forecast of the hiring intentions for that specific County and
Sector. The reports will be updated 4-times per year (Quarterly) which will be included
within the annual subscription fee.

Conclusion 60 UK Hiring Patterns Overview by Sector The overview of
the UK Hiring Patterns shows that of all Industry Sectors, the Utilities
Sector performed the strongest with an average score of 10% between
the periods of Quarter 4 2006 and Quarter 4 2012.
We have analysed a total of nine sectors throughout the UK and over
the outlined period above, the average
performance levels throughout the period has
resulted in the following sectors scoring highest to lowest: Utilities 10%
Hotels & Retail 9% Mining 7% Community & Social 3% Transport &
Communication 2% Agriculture 1% Manufacturing 0. 16% and Finance
& Business Services 0. 04% Construction -2% Agriculture As outlined
above, the Agriculture Sector has underperformed on average
throughout the period of Quarter 4 2006 and Quarter 4 2012 scoring an
average of 1%.

3. The Agriculture Sector throughout this period outperformed the Community & Social Sector
by 2%, the Construction Sector by 1%, the Finance & Business Services Sector by 5%, the
Manufacturing Sector by 2%, the Transport & Communication Sector by 6% and the Utilities
Sector by 5%.
Yet, surprisingly this Sector managed to outperform the Transport &
Communication Sector, Agriculture Sector, Manufacturing Sector,
Finance & Business Services Sector and the Construction Sector with
an average score basis throughout this period scoring on average 3%.
However, the Construction Sector has also managed to hit a low of -
23% in Quarter 1 2009 resulting in the sector coming in last place
with the next lowest performer managing to remain some 15% ahead
of the Construction Sector scoring a -8% from the Finance & Business
Services Sector.
Hotels & Retail The Hotels & Retail Sector was one of the strongest
performers throughout the period of Quarter 4 2006 and Quarter 4
2012, scoring an average score of 9% and achieving second place
overall and with just 4% difference between this sector and the top
performing sector the Mining Sector.
Throughout this period, the Manufacturing Sector managed to score a
high of 14% twice in Quarter 2 and Quarter 3 of 2007, outperforming
the Transport & Communication Sector, the Community & Social Sector
and the Agriculture Sector within the same periods.
Further down the list but not far behind the Community & Social
Sector is the Manufacturing Sector with an average score of 2. 51%
while the Agriculture managed a respectful 1.33% which although
low, has managed to outperform the Transport & Communication
Sector who managed to gain an average score of 0. 84% and the
Finance & Business Services Sector with an average score of 0. 49%.
In Quarter 1, the sector started the year with a score of 0% and
although it managed to briefly fight back with a respectful score of
9% in Quarter 3, this was never going to last and the sector ended
the year in Quarter 4 with a score of -2% as the recession started to
tighten its grip.
However, the jubilations were short lived as we entered Quarter 3
and this sector managed a score of 2% which was further declined
over Quarter 3 and Quarter 4 where the sector achieved a score of
0% in each quarter.

4. Quarter 4 2012 reasonably strong scoring an average score of 5% in 2007 but unfortunately
not managing to outperform any of the other sectors in the same period.
Although, the later result is low, it is surprisingly high in comparison to some of the other
sectors which it managed to outperform such as the Construction Sector, the Finance &
Business Services Sector, the Transport & Communication Sector, the Agriculture Sector and
the Manufacturing Sector retrospectively.
The lowest performer was found to be the Agriculture Sector with
an average score of 5% which has resulted in this sector being
outperformed by the Manufacturing Sector, Finance & Business
Service Sector and the Construction Sector which the Agriculture
Sector managed to outperform in the overall comparison outlined
above.
In Quarter 1 this sector achieved a score of 11% and although we
see a reduction in this sector over the year, the sector still ended
the year at 2% which was a great result all things considered and
enabled the sector to achieve an average score of 7%.
This sector ended the year in another dip in the final quarter with a score of 0% resulting in
this sector achieving an average score of 8% which still enabled the sector gaining a
respectful score for the year.
There was further evidence of a growth period when the sector achieved
a score of 4% in Quarter 3 before retracting again in Quarter 4 with a
final score of -4% leveraging an average score for 2010 of -1% which
resulted in the sector finding itself in the middle of the table at the end
of the year.
The sector ended 2011 in Quarter 4 with a slightly retracting score of 0.
07%, this resulted in the sector achieving an overall average hiring
performance score of 0. 1% which in a year on year comparison sees the
sector suffer a significant 7. 9% decline.
