New travel jobseeker numbers at 2024 high
Last month saw the highest number of new candidates searching for travel jobs so far this year.
It was the most since last November, according to the latest travel job data from C&M Travel Recruitment.
It represented a 17% increase from April and up 2% from a year ago.
However the number of new travel job placements fell by 15% in May, but still recorded the second highest total in the past 10 months.
There was also a 5% fall in the number of new travel job vacancies last month.
It was down by 55% on the same period in 2023.
Barbara Kolosinska, Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment, said: “The travel industry has been short of quality candidates for some time now, so it’s great to see that new jobseeker numbers have risen to their highest level of the year.”
“But with new candidates falling in April then rising in May, while new job placements increased in April but dipped last month, once again we’re seeing inconsistency in the travel recruitment market.”
