Social Media and the Law Infographic

Many users of social media are unclear on the rules and regulations that apply to conversation in the online world. There are in fact several laws that cover sites like Facebook and twitter, designed to improve the safety of users and prevent harassment or online abuse.

The general gist of these laws is that anyone sending messages, tweets or posts that are offensive, indecent or cause another party anxiety can be seen as guilty. The punishments for this behaviour include arrest, fines and even imprisonment!

There have been many incidences of cases where the law has come down hard on misusers. One man was jailed for 1 year and 243 days after he harassed his wife through Facebook. Two other men were jailed for 4 years for creating an event on Facebook that encouraged a riot. Check out the infographic to see more about these laws, who has broken them and what the result was.

A Great Year for the Recruitment Industry

Which Sectors are proving popular for the recruitment industry?

2013 was a fantastic year for the recruitment industry with increases in turnover and growth for both temporary and permanent markets. However, certain sectors certainly outperformed others! Technical and engineering based positions were the clear areas with the highest demand for workers.

In the permanent market accounting and financial roles came out as nearly 20% of the final volume for the sector. This was closely followed by secretarial and clerical work. 2013 was also a very strong year for IT and computing roles with 68,000 positions being permanently filled. Many recruiting consultants faced problems filling these roles during 2013 thanks to a shortage of candidates with the appropriate skills and experience for the role s on offer.

The occupational sectors coming out on top in the temporary market were also similar. Industrial and blue collar positions held the top spot however with a massive 241,000 placements in the year. The issue of candidates lacking the correct skills was far less present in the temporary industry.
