ARV Solutions The Sales & Marketing Division is bucking national trends As reported by the HR Grapevine: The UK jobs market is “beginning to cool”, with wage growth still high and more people dropping out of the workforce, according to new data. The latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) figures reveal that the unemployment rate jumped to 4.2% from 3.9% in February, which is the highest level in nearly six months. These latest figures indicate that economic uncertainty is taking its toll on UK employment. Core wages rose by the least since mid-2022 in the three months to February but remained strong by historical standards The ONS said there are "tentative signs that the jobs market is beginning to cool". ARV Solutions is very definitely bucking the trend in the first 5 months of 2024 (Jan through May) which have been the most successful that I have seen since joining the business back in 2012 to expand the Sales Recruitment Division. Demand for good sales people with demonstrable track records of success has never been so high and I'm glad to report that we are filling loads of great opportunities. If you are looking to change your career in sales within the Construction sector talk to us. I am being helped and supported by Jody Biss, Craig Nicholls, Sue Eustace AssocCIPD, FREC and Rob Elford Cert RP as well as great encouragement and management from Jim Roach, F.R.E.C. and Deborah Roach (Deb) All in all shaping up for a record breaking year!

Sales recruitment – Q3 market update Sales recruitment is growing. Employers are beginning to feel more confident and looking to aggressively grow their top line rather than worry about maintaining the status quo. This provides a huge opportunity for high calibre sales candidates as the demand currently outweighs the number of available people. Companies are feeling the pressure to hold on to their top performers with counter offers increasing therefore driving salaries/packages higher. A candidate-driven market There is currently a tangible shortage of high-quality sales candidates. With the help of the improving economy, skilled sales candidates are hitting and exceeding targets and therefore are not actively looking for new roles. As a result, sales candidate attraction in the current market needs to be far more proactive. Attracting these candidates into new roles is challenging as they are now seeing their hard work pay off, both in career progression and higher OTEs. Looking ahead...sales recruitment in the near future  We should continue to see positive economic growth and in turn, the creation of new jobs and career opportunities. As good candidates continue to become harder to come by, the market drive for temporary and interim sales options will continue in order to achieve aggressive short term targets while waiting for the right permanent option. If you want to find out more regarding the market conditions in both the US and UK please do reach out today. I would love to hear from other people with their thoughts also!
