I’m eager to hear everyone’s insights on the current market in the UK. Some training course sellers suggest we’re back to normal, but from my perspective—recruiting for in-house tax positions at the manager level and above—I haven’t observed this, except for a few financial services clients. What are your thoughts on the UK market?

It’s an interesting time for the UK market, especially in the tax sector. While some training course providers may suggest we’re back to normal, I agree that the reality can vary significantly depending on the specific sector and role. In-house tax positions, particularly at the manager level and above, still seem to be navigating a cautious landscape.
I think the financial services sector is showing signs of recovery and increased demand, which could be contributing to the perception of a more vibrant market. However, outside of FS, many organizations are still in a period of adjustment, possibly due to ongoing economic uncertainties and changes in regulations.
It’s also worth noting the emphasis on flexibility and hybrid working models that many companies are now leaning towards, which may affect hiring practices and candidate preferences. Overall, it appears we’re in a transitional phase where some areas are gaining momentum while others remain more stagnant. How are you finding the candidate responses in your recruitment efforts?
