Busiest August for travel job placements in a decade
Last month was the busiest August for travel job placements in over a decade, according to the latest job data from C&M Travel Recruitment and C&M Executive Recruitment.
Despite a 10% drop from July, August 2022 was an unusually busy month for the end of summer, with more candidates being placed in new travel jobs than in any other August since the index began in 2012.
Last month saw a 68% increase from the same month last year, and was up by 17% from August 2019.
However, the number of new candidates searching for travel jobs dipped to its lowest level since April – largely as a result of the summer holidays.
Traditionally the second quietest month of the year for travel recruitment behind only December, last month’s figure was down by 11% from August 2021.
It was also a slower month for new travel vacancies, which slipped back to their lowest point since last December.
Speaking about the stats, Barbara Kolosinska, Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment and C&M Executive Recruitment, said: “Although not quite matching the highs seen earlier in 2022, last month was the busiest August that we’ve seen in at least a decade for travel job placements.”
“Overall vacancies in the travel industry also remain at historic highs, and we are having to actively consult with many of our clients to be creative in terms of attracting the right talent.”
