Just a few months ago it was reported that the UK job market is at a record high of 76.2% with the lowest level of unemployment since 1974.
Add into the mix the fact that those in those in employment are changing jobs less often. Even millennials, once seen as constantly on the move with their portfolio careers and gig economy opportunities, are actually now switching roles far less than they used to.
So with UK employment booming and people sticking with what they know, the pressure of candidate shortage is not going to let up anytime soon. To make matters worse for recruiters, competition is fiercer than ever – with around eight and a half thousand new agencies having set up last year – more than a 200% increase in less than ten years.
