A surge in UK job vacancies as the recruitment industry takes off again!

Job vacancies in the UK have increased at a rapid rate year on year for the past 20 + years.  We of course have also just experienced a rapid decline as the country went into lockdown, but as the country slowly eases the lockdown rules, there has been an increase in offers.  But the number of job offers did fall in April amid ongoing COVID uncertainty holding individuals back from seeking a new opportunity.  What a turbulent time for us Recruiters too!

The latest report on jobs https://www.rec.uk.com/our-view/reports-jobs by the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) and KPMG (one of the UK’s leading advice consultancy’s)  discovered that although hiring permanent staff rose last month many candidates are reluctant to change jobs over concerns around job security.

The report revealed the fall in candidate availability was due to Brexit and changes to the IR35 rules. Find the Project Start IR35 Guideline Brochure here https://projectstart.co.uk/the-new-off-payroll-regulation/
