But the Index also shows salaries for new jobs have stayed flat, and are 2% lower than in December 2009 for the second month running.
Overall year on year employer demand is 25% above the level of December 2009 when the Index's baseline was set at 100.
HR remains one of the strongest sectors - starting from a baseline of 100 on the index in December 2009, in June this year HR reported 138 index points (compared to an average of 125). Although this marks a drop prom 148 in May, it is an increase from April's score of 115.
Regionally the East Midlands and East Anglia have shown the biggest jobs growth this month, while demand in London and the South East has recovered from its dip down in May, which has helped boost the Index as a whole.
Martin Warnes, MD of reed.co.uk, said: "Demand for skilled, highly-qualified staff has fuelled this month's increase. Key job sectors such as Insurance and Engineering reached the highest levels we have experienced since the Index began18 months ago.
"In spite of residual concerns over the economy, opportunities for jobseekers are growing again as employers look for the talent they need to support their ambitions for the future."
