february market wrap.
hiring momentum holds out against economic doom and gloom.
The sentiment has been the same across the team, and amongst our clients and candidates - February has been a whirlwind! The year has well and truly kicked into gear and as businesses push on with new and existing pipelines despite a news cycle full of economic uncertainty.
Hiring activity has been particularly strong across operations, marketing and support functions, including new leadership positions heading up operational business lines. Project Engineers, Site Managers, and ADMs also remain in high demand.
This uptick has been matched by heightened activity in our talent pools. This comes as a pleasant surprise as many were forecasting a shy talent market for 2023 due to rising interest rates and cost of living, however the sentiment so far appears to be new year, new me, new job!
