DACH & BENELUX – Life Sciences Labour Market Trends, July 2024
The 2023 year saw a dip across both DACH and BENELUX regions, reflected by the EU data. DACH has kept higher numbers than BENELUX since the start of 2022, but this gap is now shortening whilst still being apparent. So far, the first half 2024 is projected to see lower volumes than the full-year estimate.
Corporate Services – UK Life Sciences Labour Market Trends, June 2024
The UK’s political landscape is particularly noteworthy with Europe facing a series of summer elections. If it gains power, the Labour Party has explicitly stated its intention to improve trade relations with the EU. Although specific plans have not been detailed, any shift in this direction could alleviate the sectoral dampening caused by Brexit.
Employment – UK Legal Labour Market Trends, June 2024
On the first of January, the Labour Party announced its new deal for employees, contingent on their expected victory in the next election. Currently projected at an 88% likelihood of winning, businesses will need to review and update employee contracts to comply with the new regulations. Unsurprisingly, law firms are rapidly recruiting to bolster their employment teams faster than other practice areas.

Our CEO, James Chaplin, provides insight into business, operations and thought leadership at Vacancysoft.
Are HR vacancies set to surge?
The return of working from the office, is manifesting, especially in the larger companies, with a combination of carrot and stick now in effect. Refusniks who are successfully negotiating to retain their remote privileges are being told that only people based on site are likely to get bonuses and promotions, whilst others are starting to be counted in and out and disciplined if they are found to be working remotely too often.
Q3 shows a September slump
The countdown to the October 30 budget starts now. 3 months into power, and the priorities of this Government are becoming clear. The question is how to pay for these policies the Government want to implement. For context, the inflation busting public sector pay rises have already added 10BN to the budget, and there are likely to be more to follow. Without productivity linked reform, the danger is that this just results in inflationary pressure, at a time when the Government would be wanting interest rates to fall.
IT Development vacancies still 7% below 2023 levels
Historically, IT has been the disruptor. From Retail to Transportation, the integration of technology has meant that monopolistic incumbents have lost market share to new upstarts, who have carved out their own share of the market. As an example, imagine that 20 years ago, Black Cab drivers could expect to earn £100,000+ per annum. With Uber, the profession has been permanently changed.
