Travel jobs, placements up in July

Thursday, 22 Aug, 2024 0

The travel jobs market enjoyed a strong month in July, seeing rises across several metrics.

The number of new travel job vacancies, candidates and placements all increased in July.

This is for the first time since January, according to the latest travel jobs data from C&M Travel Recruitment.

New job vacancies in the travel industry rose by 12% in July to reach its highest point since March 2024.

This is despite July traditionally being a quiet jobs month for the travel sector.

The number of candidates searching for a new job in the travel industry rose by 19% last month and by 9% from July 2023.

The month also saw the second highest number of new candidates for the month of July since 2017.

There was also a 13% monthly increase in the number of candidates being placed in new travel jobs.

Still, overall volumes remain down on last year.

Barbara Kolosinska, MD at C&M Travel Recruitment, said: “With so many candidates and decision-makers away on holiday, July is typically one of the quieter months.”

“It’s extremely welcome that new jobs, candidates and placements all rose from June. In particular, to see the number of new jobs jump to a four-month high in the month of July is extremely rare.”
