Are you looking to hire but struggling to compete with inflated salary offers?

We’ve all seen the headlines – inflation is soaring while wages stagnate. Employers are struggling to retain staff as competitors tempt them away with inflated salary offers. But throwing money at the problem isn’t the only solution. Offering flexibility and a healthy work environment can be an incredibly powerful alternative currency.

Read our full blog on Flexibility as currency: why being unable to compete with inflated salaries isn't the end game.

Hiring tends to heat up in spring in the UK for several reasons:

1. End of Fiscal Year: Many companies in the UK operate on a fiscal year that ends in March or April. As the new fiscal year begins, companies often have new budgets and hiring quotas to fulfil, leading to increased recruitment activity.
2. Graduation Season: Spring coincides with the end of the academic year at universities and colleges. This means that a new wave of graduates is entering the job market, creating opportunities for employers to hire fresh talent.
3. Improved Weather: The arrival of spring brings better weather and longer daylight hours, which can boost morale and productivity in the workplace. This positive atmosphere often leads companies to feel more confident about expanding their teams.
4. Renewed Business Activity: After the quieter winter months, many businesses experience a resurgence in activity as consumer spending increases and projects ramp up. This uptick in business often necessitates hiring additional staff to meet demand.
5. Seasonal Industries: Certain industries, such as tourism, hospitality, and retail, experience peak seasons during spring and summer. As a result, businesses in these sectors often need to hire seasonal workers to handle increased customer demand.

Finance Clerical and temporary-workers

The last few years have seen seismic shifts in the world of work. As we move into a post-pandemic era, temporary and flexible forms of employment are on the rise. For employers and employees alike, this new normal presents both challenges and opportunities.

For professionals, temp work offers an unrivalled diversity of experience across multiple fields. It caters to popular preferences for portfolio careers and greater autonomy. Whether it’s due to uncertainty, necessity, or choice, temporary contracts allow people to move fluidly between projects that play to their strengths and interests. With transferrable skills more important than ever, temping enables you to continually expand and update your toolkit.
