The July 2024 KPMG & REC UK Report on Jobs
‘’Candidates placed in permanent positions fall again’’
‘’Fastest rise in permanent pay for eight months’’
‘’Staff availability continues to climb’’
The July 2024 KPMG & REC UK Report on Jobs is now out.
The latest KPMG & REC UK REPORT ON JOBS has been published featuring survey results from June 12-24 2024.

“Despite robust national employment data, the latest survey results indicate that employers are still hitting the brakes on recruitment with the general election period causing some uncertainty. Permanent hiring has taken a particular hit, as companies either delay or focus on temporary appointments. This lack of demand means competition for the few roles available continues to drive pay growth.’’
Neil Carberry, REC Chief Executive, said:
“Recruiters report companies delayed some permanent hiring decisions during the election campaign. Now a new government has been elected, recruitment firms are looking for that investment to be unlocked.
