Speaking about the stats, Barbara Kolosinska, Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment, said: "October was a very positive month for travel recruitment with placements rising by a third from September, and more importantly, also up by 28 per cent from last year. In fact, new jobs and candidates also both rose from October 2023, so we saw all three metrics rise year-on-year for only the second time this year.
"This is great momentum that we hope to see replicated through the remainder of 2024. With more jobs being made available, this is a fantastic time for candidates to look at the options now available to them and potentially start 2025 with an exciting new role."
