Totaljobs’ resident job market data expert Zoë Wilkins, commented, “As the UK learns to live in a post Covid world, companies are gaining confidence and budgets are coming back online that were paused or limited over the past few years.

“This is great news for jobseekers, because when you couple this heightened demand with very low unemployment rates, applicants have a lot of choice and flexibility to choose the right role for them.”
