Internal Audit – UK Finance Labour Market Trends Report, June 2024
With the impact of climate change now becoming an ever-present reality, it is now being recommended that internal auditors globally make assessing the risk part of their purview, and within the UK specifically. Nonetheless, activity has been muted so far in 2024, with vacancies slowing down by 19.7% compared to last year.
South East – UK Regional Labour Market Trends, May 2024
The symbiotic relationship between London and the South East has only strengthened in recent years, as the region has become a leading global hub for the high-tech industry. However, looking at this year so far, the region has experienced a slump in jobs and recruitment, especially compared to the peak of the post-pandemic period.
Transformation & Change – UK Insurance Labour Market Trends, May 2024
Insurance companies are facing a myriad of challenges at a time when there is deep uncertainty in the industry and the global economy. Similarly, transformation projects have changed and now require a far greater focus on data and analytics capabilities. The trend toward digitalisation has resulted in companies embracing the cloud, and with each wave of transformation, the level of cost and complexity has increased.

July sees record vacancies in Life Sciences
After a protracted slowdown in the post pandemic period, the life sciences sector is finally springing back to life. July was the record month this year so far and the signs are positive looking forward. In terms of what had caused the lull, it is worth factoring that with the UK leaving the EU this had meant that the MHRA had to take over regulatory approvals for new trials, and this process has taken time to bed in.
London Law Firm’s continue to recruit
The transactional nature of the London Law Firms means that activity here acts as a good barometer into confidence in the economy. Increases in Law Firm hiring typically can be directly linked to greater demand for their services, either from the Banks, on the one hand, or the Real Estate sector on the other. Therefore the fact that over the last three months, vacancies have been higher this year, than in both 2022 and 2023, is a positive sign, reinforced by a general consensus that the UK economy is performing better than many anticipated, which is reflected in GBP strengthening.
Corporate Recruiters in Demand as hiring picks up
As the UK economy adjusts to a new equilibrium as a result of the change in Government, there have been positive signs of a rebounding in recruitment. Nonetheless, it is worth mentioning that a fair amount of the July hiring was due to vacancies being deferred from earlier in spring, as companies waited on the result of the election. Once the Labour Party was confirmed as having won, companies removed the hiring freeze and moved ahead with the vacancies they had planned for.
