The number of travel vacancies rose 4% year-on-year in February but at the same time there was a 17% drop in the number of candidates.
The number of jobs being created are at historically high levels, rising in all but one of the last 14 months.
Releasing their latest monthly index, C&M Travel Recruitment and C&M Executive Recruitment said they haven’t seen more jobs being created in any February since at least 2011.
"We saw a record number of people searching for travel roles last year and the industry continues to be an incredibly appealing and attractive place for people to work," said Barbara Kolosinska, director at both companies.
"It remains a candidate driven market with experienced quality applicants able to choose between a number of roles, however last month saw a 28% increase in the number of placements compared to February 2017, so companies are not struggling to fill vacancies."
