The number of new jobs in the travel industry rose by 80% last month, according to recruitment firm C&M.
It said that was the biggest month-on-month increase since January and meant that new vacancies reached their highest level for six months.
Last month’s figure was also up 29% on September 2023.
There was also a 12% month-on-month increase in candidates searching for new jobs, which was 29% up on September 2023 and the highest number for September since 2017.
Last month also saw a 27% monthly increase in new job placements, with the number of candidates being appointed to new roles reaching its highest level since May.
Barbara Kolosinska, C&M Travel Recruitment Managing Director, said: “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 from the same month in 2023 – with placements holding steady too.
“This is a really positive sign as we head into the fourth quarter of the year, with many candidates and decision makers leaving their summer distractions behind and focusing again on new jobs and new talent.
“However, we can’t get ahead of ourselves – the summer was quiet for the travel recruitment market, but hopefully we can build on the momentum from September and see more increases in activity over the next few months.”
