In this month’s report co-produced by Vacancysoft and Oliver James Associates, we focus on vacancies for regulatory and compliance staff in England & Wales. There was sound growth in the number of such new openings, but which regions had the best growth in terms of vacancy volumes and percentage change? And what about the different sectors?
