Rising demand for staff to fill vacancies resulted in the sharpest salary inflation rate in almost 24 years of data collection, KPMG's jobs survey found.

However, ongoing uncertainty over job security concerns caused a "severe drop" in candidates in July, it said.

Candidate numbers fell at the second-fastest rate in the survey's history.

The lack of available candidates continued to decline rapidly in July, driven by "concerns over job security due to the pandemic, a lack of European workers due to Brexit, and a generally low unemployment rate", the report by KPMG and the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC) said.

So Recruiters - don't just take our word for it..........

Kate Shoesmith, deputy chief executive of the REC, said the data confirmed that it was now a "good time to be looking for a new job". 

Several industries, including the hospitality and haulage sectors, are experiencing chronic shortages in workers.

Some of the many skilled jobs in short supply include chefs, software engineers, technicians and carers.

Remember Recruiters;

IT'S A GOOD TIME TO BE LOOKING FOR A NEW JOB
