As we've entered a new month, and the renewed energy that September brings, we want to reflect on the last month of recruitment insights.

An employee leaving your team can provide valuable insight into the on the ground culture and what employees really feel about specific aspects of your business. Shockingly, more than 55% of UK employees who resigned from their last job were not invited for a formal leaving interview (CIPD).

Confidence from businesses in the market is on the rise following the election, which is a great sign to see as we head into the second half of the year.

The 2024 King's Speech introduced several pivotal bills aimed at, among many other reforms, revolutionising employment in the UK. These initiatives underscore Labour's commitment to improving workers' rights, job security, and overall workplace conditions, marking one of the most significant overhauls in recent years.

The first half of the year has seen significant change, from a stagnant market at the start of the year, to an emerging confidence from both business and candidates.

People Management recently discussed ten ways AI is transforming the recruitment process, and we are certainly starting to see more adoption of this innovative tech form both in our business and across the market.

As we get ever closer to the General Election on July 4th, we’ve reviewed the party manifestos to see what they have pledged and how it pertains to employment and the future of work.

The recruitment market continues to be on the shift, but looking at the insights from May, we seem to be seeing the start of a resilient employment market and more stable role availability.

On Wednesday 15th May, we gathered HR and internal recruitment professionals from across the region for our very first Talking HR event at the beautiful Froginwell Vineyard.

We were really shocked to read the recent report by the CIPD that only 41% of employers always share salary ranges in external job adverts, and even less so at just 18% for internal job adverts.

It's been an interesting month in the recruitment sector as we have seen small but powerful market fluctuations that could be an indicator of positive change ahead.
