Against the odds, the UK job market is remaining robust and positive as we move towards spring.
In the first six weeks of the year, market sectors which are thriving include media, telecoms, financial services, and IT and communications.
If you’re looking for a new role in the months ahead, your skills are in-demand. Recent research by the REC shows that Seven in 10 employers across the UK are still witnessing a shortage of all types of candidates for their roles.
In particular, more than four-in-five small employers (with less than 50 staff) involved in the survey reported shortages of candidates (81.5%). One of the biggest challenges this year is likely to be stopping ongoing candidate shortages constraining the economy if economic growth returns this year.
