C&M Travel Recruitment’s Activity Index – March 2025
(TRAVPR.COM) UNITED KINGDOM - April 25th, 2025 - Travel job placements hit joint highest level in 11 months
C&M Travel Recruitment’s Activity Index – March 2025
- Placements jump 28 per cent annually
- Candidates and vacancies both dip in March
Strong month for job placements
The number of candidates being placed in new travel jobs jumped to a five-month high in March to equal the highest total since last April, according to the latest figures from C&M Travel Recruitment.
March's figure was up by nine per cent from February 2024 and up by 28 per cent from March 2024. It was also the third highest total in the past two years.
However, there was a fall in the number of new candidates searching for jobs in the travel industry in March, with figures falling by 19 per cent compared to both the previous month and March 2024.
Similarly, the number of new travel jobs created in March dipped by 24 per cent from February and by 16 per cent from the same month last year.
Speaking about the stats, Barbara Kolosinska, Co-Owner and Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment, said: "With another increase in March, job placements in the travel industry have now risen in three of the last four months, which is excellent to see. Perhaps more importantly, placements have only fallen year-on-year once in the past seven months, so we appear to be gaining some momentum as we head into spring.
"Last month's dip in candidates and vacancies is disappointing, but April appears to be a much better month for new job seekers, so hopefully this will convert into further strong placement figures in the months ahead."
