Latest findings show that growth in job adverts shows no signs of slowing down, spiking over the last few weeks and increasing by over 600,000 since the end of August.
The Recruitment and Employment Confederation’s (REC) latest Jobs Recovery Tracker revealed that this significant growth has been recorded up and down the country.
Neil Carberry, Chief Executive of the REC, said, commented, “The past month has seen a remarkable spike in job adverts, with 235,000 new ads posted last week. Businesses from almost every sector and local area are hiring right now, and with so much competition for staff, many businesses are having to offer increased salaries and benefits to attract the people they need.”

As the sugar rush fades, future opportunities will be defined by the strength of our underlying economy – notably the extent to which there are capacity constraints on growth, and what progress firms can make on productivity. To truly level up, it’s time for government to work with businesses on skills, including at lower skills levels, capital investment and workforce planning to make sure we have a soft landing after this boom.
“And all of this needs to be as relevant for temporary workers – the flexible backbone of our economy – as for those staff in permanent roles.”
