Being at the forefront of the London Rec2Rec marketplace, Permanent People are ideally placed to be speaking with recruitment companies, large and small, about the current landscape in the world of recruitment.
Our discussions so far in 2024 have seen renewed optimism in the market, with our clients telling us that last year was real learning curve and one that gave them a chance, as one client put it “to reset and go again” for this year.
What hasn’t changed is the companies want and expect quality if they’re going to be paying recruitment fees. That much is obvious and requires recruiters to be on their A game to give their clients the service they want. It’s definitely not a time to be “spraying and preying” or just keeping your fingers crossed to get results. They won’t come to you, you have to go out and make things happen. Every day!
Talking specifically about the London recruitment market, 2024 has started positively from what our clients are telling us, and there’s a real desire to hire talent who have niche sector experience. Particularly in the areas of Tech, Financial Services, Pharma and Digital Marketing.
Our London Rec2Rec team are busy working with some great recruitment agencies who have a real appetite to hire, so even though the job market may appear tough, it’s actually never been a better time to be looking if you’re an experienced recruiter who works a specialised desk.
