Market & Data Insights - December

"November marked a significant uptick in our permanent sales revenue, with an impressive 44% surge in the second half of the month compared to the first. While there was a slight dip in new vacancies and interviews, our overall tracking data indicates stability and a promising upward trend in the final week. The impact of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement and the broader economic landscape on the recruitment market will be worth observing. With inflation on the decline and interest rates likely to fall in the coming months, I anticipate a boost in business confidence and increased hiring activity."
