Summary of the latest report

The latest Report on Jobs pointed to a further fall in permanent staff hires in February 2023 on the back of lingering economic uncertainty and subsequent hesitancy around hiring. Candidate shortages also contributed to the slowdown in hiring activity, though the latest drop in labour supply was the softest seen for nearly two years. Nevertheless, temp billings continued to grow. Vacancies data showed a relative improvement in growth of demand for staff helped by a quicker rise in permanent vacancies.
