With Covid restrictions continuing to ease, vacancies in hospitality spiked 77% month-on-month in April – this marked the highest level of recruitment in the sector since March 2020.
This is according to data compiled by Broadbean Technology, which also shows that the hospitality sector still has a long way to go to reach pre-Covid levels, with job vacancies down 48% for April 2021 when compared to February 2020.
Alex Fourlis, Managing Director at Broadbean Technology, commented, “Hospitality has been one of the hardest hit sectors during the pandemic and this spike in vacancies is an encouraging sign that the UK is gradually beginning to return to ‘normal’.

Understandably, a number of individuals have chosen to exit the sector as work dried up and businesses now face the challenge of enticing them back. Perhaps more concerningly, though, this drop in applications follows the UK’s exit from the EU and potentially suggests that Brexit has had a long-lasting impact on hospitality.”
