The jobs market is cooling, what does this mean?
A recent report by KPMG and REC highlights a softening in the rate of hiring after a period of unpredictable post-Covid growth.
“vacancy growth continued to ease, with both permanent and temporary staff demand rising at the softest rates since February 2021”
Unfortunately, this does little to solve the continuing problems that businesses have experienced tapping into specialists, necessary and niche expertise for their Technology and Transformation agendas. Candidate supply unfortunately remains a significant problem, which traditional solutions such as recruitment channels and consultancy partners are failing to effectively address.
“A key factor weighing on candidate numbers was a greater hesitancy among people to apply for new roles, driven by fears over the economic outlook. A generally low unemployment rate, skills shortages and Brexit also weighed on candidate availability.”
