According to the latest figures from C&M Travel Recruitment, the travel sector witnessed an unprecedented 80% month-on-month increase in new job vacancies in September. This represents the most significant rise since the beginning of the year, suggesting a potential recovery or reshaping in the industry.

In comparison to September of the previous year, the number of new travel job opportunities rose by 29%, reaching numbers not observed in the last half-year. This indicates not only a monthly improvement but an annual growth, reflecting broader positive trends in the industry.

Furthermore, the same period reported a substantial 12% increase in candidates proactively seeking roles within the travel sector from the previous month. This figure also displayed a year-on-year rise of 29%, marking September as a notable month for job seekers, unmatched since 2017.

The trend continued with new job placements, which escalated by 27% on a monthly basis. September’s placements achieved unparalleled numbers since May, further underscoring the travel sector’s dynamic changes.

 

Barbara Kolosinska, Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment, expressed optimism about this upward trend, stating, “While it’s great that new placements, vacancies and candidates all rose month-on-month in September, it’s even better to see that vacancies and candidates also increased with placements holding steady too.” Her insights suggest a robust market as the fourth quarter approaches.

These developments signify a promising advancement for the travel sector as it moves into the final quarter of the year.
