Big surge in travel job placements
More candidates were placed in new travel jobs last month than at any point since the pandemic began, according to the latest data from C&M Travel Recruitment and C&M Executive Recruitment.
February 2022 saw a 49% increase in travel placements from the previous month to set a new pandemic-high.
This is 15% above the previous best which was recorded in November 2021.
Despite this, last month’s total remained down on the typical February average, with a relatively small 10% fall from February 2020.
The number of new candidates searching for travel jobs fell slightly in February by 2%, however it was up by 26% from February 2020.
Similarly, the number of new travel job vacancies also fell from January’s highs with a 26% monthly fall.
Compared to previous years, February 2022’s total was up by nearly 600% from the same month in 2021.
Barbara Kolosinska, Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment and C&M Executive Recruitment, said: “As a recruitment company, our main aim is to find great talent for our clients, so we’re delighted that more candidates were placed in travel roles last month than at any point in the past two years.”
“March has also got off to an extremely busy start with a particularly big increase in recruitment activity from TMCs since the end of February.”
“With many companies looking to take on new recruits to help them cope with demand, the shortage of experienced travel candidates is continuing to create issues for our industry – and this will continue until we see higher salaries, better packages and increased flexibility.
