Summary of the latest report
The latest Report on Jobs signalled further softness in hiring conditions in November. Permanent placements continued to decline, though at a slower pace, while temp billings slipped back into contraction after briefly rising in October. Vacancies fell again, but the rate of decline was the slowest in five months, with permanent demand weakening more sharply than temporary roles.
Across sectors, demand for permanent staff fell in all monitored categories, led by Construction and Retail, while Blue Collar saw the mildest decline. Temporary vacancies also contracted in most areas, though Healthcare registered a slight increase, making it the only sector to see growth in short-term demand.
Read the key findings to understand the impact on staff salaries, availability and sector trends.
