Placements rise in May
The number of candidates securing new jobs in the travel industry rose in May, according to the latest figures from C&M Travel Recruitment.
The month saw a 17 per cent rise in placements compared to May, to reach the third highest total of the year so far. However, the figure fell by 18 per cent from the same month in 2024.
There was a small fall in the number of new travel jobs being created in May, with a nine per cent monthly drop. Compared to the same month last year, May's total slipped by 12 per cent.
Similarly, the number of candidates beginning their search for a new travel job last month dipped by six per cent from April. The total was also down by 20 per cent from May 2024.
Speaking about the stats, Barbara Kolosinska, Co-Owner and Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment, said: "It’s always encouraging to see a rise in new travel job placements – and a 17 per cent increase from April is a very positive thing. However, we can't ignore the fact that placements, candidates and vacancies are all down compared to the same month last year. While the year-on-year dips aren't huge, we are hoping to see activity pick up as we enter the summer months. Fortunately, the early stats for June are looking healthier with more companies looking to bring new travel talent into their team."
