  • In what will come as a surprise to no one (we hope): There's still a lot of caution surrounding hiring in the UK. The UK's January jobs report simply continues the trend of previous months: 👉 Permanent placements fell for the 28th month in a row 👉 Temporary hiring dropped at its fastest rate since mid-2020 👉 Vacancy numbers hit their steepest decline in over four years Not exactly inspiring reading. But here’s the flipside: demand for senior hires in finance and technology is still there. Forward-thinking businesses aren’t hitting pause on leadership - they’re making strategic moves to retain and invest in top talent. 2025 is 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘦𝘥 to get better, but until then, expect a bumpy ride. 📈 Building for long-term success? That only happens when you have a great team. We work with ambitious, growth-focused businesses to give them just that. Call our Manchester office: 0161 667 2277
