As the dust settles on the first Labour budget in over two decades, we’re analysing how these changes will impact our clients and candidates across our key sectors: Engineering, IT, Defence Technology, Aviation, and Manufacturing. This pivotal budget is set to reshape recruitment, presenting both challenges and new opportunities for growth and development. Here’s what matters most for businesses and talent alike: 📈 Changes to National Insurance - Employer NICs will increase to 15%, which could impact hiring costs, especially for smaller firms.

This brings fresh demand for skilled professionals in areas such as engineering, healthcare, and sustainable energy. 🚀 CBSbutler is ready to help organisations tackle emerging talent needs in these booming sectors. 💼 Wage Increases & Skills Levy - With the National Living Wage rising and a new Growth and Skills Levy on the way, there’s a sharper focus on attracting and retaining skilled talent.

What does Hunt’s Spring budget mean for recruitment?   Recruitment agency owners up and down the country will likely have listened to the budget live and read generalised headlines about the impact of the spring budget on taxpayers.   However, what does this mean for recruitment businesses specifically? There’s encouraging news for those of you working in specific sectors, and there are signs that more candidates will be encouraged to return to the market.   I’m already having conversations with the recruiters I work with in a non-exec FD capacity around how they can look at supply chains and map their future growth.   Working with me using my pay-per-meeting model means you could also be having these conversations, which will support you in understanding and identifying the opportunities this budget can open up for your recruitment business. #SpringBudget #RecruitmentIndustry
