HR – UK Insurance Labour Market Trends, July 2024
The pandemic’s long-term impact on the industry is still evident, particularly in how we work. The sudden shift from structured, on-site roles to remote work has altered workplace dynamics, with traditional business principles now being challenged, especially by younger generations. This has created challenges for HR departments as businesses face resistance to returning on-site.
London – UK Regional Labour Market Trends, July 2024
With the general election now behind us, the UK economy is showing signs of acceleration. Economists are already revising their forecasts on GDP growth for this year, and the fact that Starmer has won with such a significant mandate means that there is certainty about what lies ahead for business.
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.

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.
