New jobs in UK hospitality sector 'non-existent'

The Boss of London-based recruitment firm PJ Search & Selection states in a recent BBC News Article, that recruitment is bad overall, but within hospitality…”it’s non-existent”.

According to the BBC, “The latest official figures show that the UK #unemployment rate rose to 4.8% in the three months to September, up from 4.1% in the previous quarter. And the unemployment rate among 16 to 24-year-olds, who make up much of the staff across restaurants, bars and hotels, is now 14.6%, also according to official data. Overall UK unemployment is now expected to reach 7.5% next year”.

 This bleak situation also applies to retail, and is replicated globally, says Ann Swain, the chief executive of #APSCo, an international trade body that represents the #recruitment sector.

 "In March, education recruitment fell off a cliff because schools were closed down, and other markets followed with permanent recruitment dying for weeks or longer for the likes of retail and hospitality," she says.

 But Ms Swain says recruitment has since picked up in areas such as #distribution, #healthcare and the #pharmaceutical sector, where firms have been looking for Covid vaccines.

In fact, some entrepreneurs are launching new recruitment firms to capitalise on these trends. One such is UK industry veteran David Spencer-Percival, who has started Life Sciences People, focusing on the pharmaceutical and life sciences sector.

"The sector is seeing record investment," he says. "If you are already in a downturn or recession then there's everything to play for if you time it right, as the economy can only move one way - up."
