🚨 UK JOBS UPDATE

HEADLINE: Recruitment landscape improves as permanent placements stabilise and temp billings rise further

✅ Temp billings growth remains among quickest since early 2023
✅ Stronger upturns in pay for both permanent and temp staff
✅ Temporary vacancies rise for first time in two years

Maxine Bligh, Recruitment and Employment Confederation’s Chief Membership & Innovation Officer, said: “Rays of light are beginning to break through for the job market as employers revive hiring plans. Temporary vacancies are up for the first time in two years, while recruiters’ revenue from supplying temporary workers has risen for a fourth consecutive month. And the permanent market is stabilising.

"Remarkably, this is the first month without a decline in permanent placements since Liz Truss resigned as Prime Minister in 2022, underlining just how prolonged the downturn in permanent hiring has been.

“That makes it all the more important that the government takes decisions now that builds business confidence and momentum in hiring. This means action to bring the Industrial Strategy to life and exercising pragmatism around the implementation of the Employment Rights Act, particularly guaranteed hours proposals.

"The Autumn Budget is a great opportunity to give businesses the shot of confidence they need to hire and invest.

“If the government is serious about getting more young people their first vital opportunities of work they must think carefully about the balance of their Make Work Pay Agenda by easing mounting costs and red tape around employment.”

🚨 RECRUITERS... HOW TO STOP LOSING PLACEMENTS! ✋

For many recruiters, especially solopreneurs, there is an unspoken pressure to do everything ourselves.

We win the client, take the brief, source candidates, manage expectations and ultimately deliver the placement. It’s what we’re good at.

But what happens when a role becomes stubbornly difficult to fill?

The market has changed. Candidate shortages are commonplace in specialist sectors, and clients still expect exceptional results.

Too often, recruiters respond by simply working harder. More searches. More calls. More hours.

The problem? Working harder doesn’t always produce better outcomes. I have fallen victim of this myself at times. It always reminds me to try and work smarter – not necessarily longer.

In fact, one of the biggest mistakes recruiters can make is seeing every other recruiter as competition.

I see things differently and believe that recruitment should be a team sport.

Some of the most successful placements I’ve been involved in haven’t come from going it alone. They’ve come from collaboration.

Macstaff MD Anthony McCormack is joined by Kerry Greenland, Founder of Vantage Recruitment, to explore the benefits of collaboration within the recruitment industry.

As long-standing members of TEAM (The Employment Agent's Movement), Anthony and Kerry discuss how attitudes towards sharing vacancies and working on split-fee placements have evolved.

They will discuss the benefits it can bring to clients and candidates alike and ask why some recruiters still find collaboration so difficult?

The conversation also lifts the lid on what a successful split-fee partnership actually looks like, from the perspectives of both the recruiter owning the client relationship and the recruiter sourcing candidates.

They'll also discuss the risks, share honest experiences of when things haven't gone to plan, explain how trust and clear processes minimise those risks, and highlight real examples where collaboration has delivered outstanding results.

Whether you're already collaborating or simply curious about co-opetition, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

🫵 THREE REASONS why Macstaff can help YOU acheive split-fee wins today!

22/07/2026

🫵 TRANSFORM A LIFE - AND A BUSINESS!

Recruitment is about far more than filling vacancies. It's a career built on creating opportunities and helping businesses grow.

Every successful placement has two winners: a candidate taking the next step in their career and an employer gaining the talent they need to grow or progress.

The right placement can transform a team and shape the future of a business.

Recruitment, as a career, can be much maligned at times.

But it can also be very, very rewarding
