Despite this, March’s total was down by 32% per from the same month in 2023, which experienced a strong start to the year.
It was also a positive month for travel job placements, with the number of candidates being placed in new positions reaching its second highest total since last August.
However, March saw a small fall of 3% from February.
There was a small dip in the number of new candidates searching for travel jobs in March, with the month registering a 2% fall.
However, this remained up by 25% from the pre-pandemic month of March 2019.
Barbara Kolosinska, MD at C&M Travel Recruitment, said: “Activity levels are still lower than we would ideally like, but there were many positives to take from last month.”
“Travel job vacancies and placements both reached their second highest levels since last summer.”
“Easter is likely to affect April’s numbers, but once that’s out of the way we will hopefully see month-on-month increases across all of these metrics.”
