Travel recruitment activity slowed marginally in November in the run-up to Christmas, according to the latest figures from C&M Travel Recruitment.
Last month saw a small year-on-year fall in the number of new travel jobs being made available with November’s total dipping by 6% from the same month in 2023.
Last month’s total also slipped by 16% from October.
It was also a quieter month for new candidates looking for travel jobs.
They were down 25% from last November.
Similarly, the volume of applicants being placed in new travel jobs also declined.
Barbara Kolosinska, Co-Owner and Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment, said: “After very positive signs in October, it was disappointing to see recruitment activity ease in November. It’s been an inconsistent year, with multiple signs of momentum followed by slower periods.”
“December is traditionally the quietest month of the year, so our attention now turns to January, where we hope to see a strong start to 2025.”
“We are already seeing positive signs for the New Year with many recent placements starting in January, and lots of our clients planning to step-up their recruitment.”
