Businesses bet on growth... 💪 Business are planning on growth after the private sector showed its "strongest outturn" in nearly two years according to the CBI (Confederation of British Industry) composite growth indicator. 👏 “That expectations for growth remain positive should give further reassurance that things are heading in the right direction, alongside our survey data showing hiring intentions are holding up,” said Alpesh Paleja, lead economist at the CBI. With an election date set and inflation moving in the right direction, although not as quickly as hoped, there is optimism with firms across sectors gearing up for "broad-based growth”. https://lnkd.in/ew_VtZ-3

Things can only get better but watch out for inflation!   Good morning, Britain’s economy grew for the second consecutive quarter in a boost to Sir Keir Starmer after his first month in power. Gross domestic product (GDP) expanded by 0.6pc in the three months to June, according to the Office for National Statistics. Growth was down slightly from the 0.7pc expansion recorded in the first three months of the year but in line with economists’ estimates. It shows Britain’s economy is moving past the recession suffered at the end of last year, with data this week also showing inflation remaining in check and real wages at their highest level in three years.

We’ve seen a marked improvement in the market in the last few weeks. And according to the latest KPMG and REC, UK Report on Jobs things continue to improve in the job market. Key Findings: 🔺Fall in permanent hiring the softest in over a year. 🔺May saw a weaker decline in permanent placements. It was the twentieth successive month in which placements have fallen, BUT the latest decline was modest and slowest since March 2023. 🔺A similar trend was seen for temp billings, with the latest contraction the weakest in four months. There were reports that slow decision-making, a lack of vacancies and specific candidate shortages weighed on placements. 🔺Amid reports of a competitive market landscape, alongside evidence of a ripple impact on base pay rates following April’s increases in the national minimum and living wages, typical starting pay for candidates rose again during May. 🔺A further uplift in pay rates. For permanent workers, salaries were reported to have increased markedly and to only a slightly lesser extent than April’s four-month high. Temp staff saw a similar trend, with pay rising at only a slightly slower pace than in the previous month. 🔺Vacancies down slightly. Although demand for staff continued to fall in May, extending the current downturn to seven months, it did so only marginally and to the lowest degree in this sequence. Moreover, the latest fall was exclusively led by permanent workers as temp staff demand was unchanged in the latest survey period. 🔺Latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) indicated a drop in the number of vacancies in the three months to April 2024. According to the ONS vacancies fell 26,000 compared to the three months to January, with the overall number of job vacancies dropping to 898,000. Compared to a year ago, vacancies are some 190,000 lower but remain significantly higher than just prior to the start of the pandemic in March 2020 (796,000). 🔺Staff Avaliability Rises. May’s survey revealed another steep increase in staff availability. The rate of growth was the steepest recorded by the survey since December 2020. It was noted that a mixture of redundancies, higher unemployment and reduced demand for staff led to the broad rise in candidate availability. If you'd like to receive a copy of the full report - feel free to comment or send me a DM. Thanks so much as always to Paul Sharpe for sending us this report. Is this reflective of what you are seeing in your market, is the tide finally turning? Keen to hear your thoughts? #rec2rec #recruitment

After the 4th July holidays what will we see in the #professionalservices jobs market? After 18 months of tough trading for many professional services firms there are definate signs of recovery as margins are improving, utilization rates are moving back into line with targets. 2022 was a year of cost-cutting - we saw some of the major firms making signififcant cuts to the workforce in some cases over 10% to ensure costs were managed. 2023 is a year of optimization - after agreesive lay-offs in 2022 this activity has slowed as businesses re-size and prepare to return to growth in 2024. The second half of the year will see a mobilization of senior talent to position ambitious firms for growth, I do not see strong hiring at the Manager/Senior Manager level until the end of the year but executive hiring is certainly seeing an uplift. Firms who wait until customer demand has fully returned will likley miss the post-slump bounce. There are a number of consulting firms with recent PE investment looking to capitalize on attracting top tier talent from the likes of MBB/Big4/Accenture who remain cautious and are holding back Partner/MD level promotions leaving talent exposed to offers. I am looking forward to engaging with the network over the next 6 months. #growth #consultingjobs #hiring

📉 Crafting a cash-flow management plan for your recruitment start-up? Effective cash flow management is crucial for your agency’s success. Implement these strategies: 👉 Forecast Your Cash Flow: Regularly project your future income and expenses to anticipate needs. 👉 Maintain a Reserve Fund: Set aside funds for unexpected expenses or slow business periods. 👉 Monitor Regularly: Regularly review and adjust your cash flow management plan to stay on track. Helen says...Being vigilant with your expenditure and getting into the habit of checking your cashflow DAILY will ensure that you never get caught out and most of all, you stay in control. #whynotyouwhynotnow #professionalwomen #recruitment #entrepreneurship #motivation #innovation" Download our free guide: Your new recruitment venture: A simple startup guide: https://loom.ly/SZpV17g
