What is the impact of COVID-19 on the temporary job sector?

Lockdown in March 2020 inevitably had a negative impact on recruitment, but thankfully, since July, we have started to see the market slowly bounce back. The forecast for the temporary job sector is much more positive, as businesses will want help to get their growth plans back on track, without the commitment of hiring on a permanent basis. We expect to see an increase in the number of temporary jobs in the South West in the coming months, which could then evolve into permanent positions as the economy starts to repair.
