Highest ever July for travel job placements
Travel job placements increased in July and remained at near-record levels, according to the latest data from C&M Travel Recruitment and C&M Executive Recruitment.
With a rise of 5% from June, last month’s total number of travel job placements was the fifth highest since November 2017.
It was also the highest figure ever recorded for the month of July since the index began in 2012, standing 149% above July 2021 and up by 74% from July 2019.
The volume of new candidates searching for travel jobs also remained historically high in July with a 2% rise from the previous month.
Despite being down by 24% from July 2021 (the highest number in the past four years), last month’s figure was up by 45% from July 2019.
Similarly, the number of new travel jobs being created in July 2022 increased by 14% from June.
Barbara Kolosinska, Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment and C&M Executive Recruitment, said: “With the summer holidays in full swing, July traditionally results in a dip in activity, but July 2022 actually saw vacancies, placements and new candidates all rise from the previous month”
“This is the first time this has happened since July 2012 and demonstrates the sheer level of demand that the travel industry has for talent at the moment.”
“August is usually the industry’s quietest month for recruitment outside of December, so it will be interesting to see if it also defies historical trends.”
