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.
Defence Vacancies surge post election, what next?
Within a week of coming to power, Starmer committed to stand with Ukraine, for as long as it takes. As part of that he then committed to new package of artillery and brimstone missiles to be delivered shortly, as well as placing a new order for soviet era ammunition, to help bolster Ukraine’s defences. Hence, the bounce seen across the UK economy in July, was most pronounced in Aerospace & Defence, with vacancies rising month to month by over 40%, and hitting levels last seen in November last year.
July bounce for IT, but what about H2?
For everyone involved in IT recruitment, the burst of activity seen in July was a welcome relief, as vacancies ended up hitting levels not seen since Q1. Indeed, the final total for the month, was the third highest since April 2023. Nonetheless, the pragmatists will recognize that the general election being announced in May, resulted in many businesses deferring investment decisions, including hiring, until after the result, which had meant that Q2 was materially quieter than Q1. So the burst in July could just be the result of that pent up demand being recognized.
