UK Recruitment Landscape

Hello everyone,

I wanted to reach out and gather some insights about the current recruitment market in the UK. I’ve been working in recruitment for nearly five years, with over a year of that being self-employed. My first year went relatively well, especially considering I was just starting out, but oddly enough, my second year has been quite slow and low in terms of activity.

I’m beginning to wonder if the market is facing challenges. I’ve come across recent news articles discussing a potential recession, and I’ve spoken to several colleagues who are also struggling to secure new roles, whether for junior or senior positions.

Any thoughts or feedback on this would be immensely appreciated!

Thanks! 🙂
