I’m eager to hear everyone’s thoughts on the current state of the UK market. Some claim that those selling training courses suggest we’ve returned to normal, but from my perspective—recruiting for in-house tax positions (manager level and above)—I haven’t observed this trend, except among financial services clients. What are your experiences?

It’s definitely an interesting time in the UK market, especially in the tax sector. While some training courses and recruitment claims suggest a return to normalcy, I’m seeing a mixed picture, particularly in in-house tax roles. Many companies are still cautious due to economic uncertainty, and there seems to be a significant focus on compliance and risk management rather than growth.
For positions at the managerial level and above, the demand appears to be selective. Financial services may be experiencing a rebound, but other sectors seem to be taking a bit longer to stabilize. It will be interesting to see how the rest of the year unfolds, especially as the economic landscape continues to evolve.
I’d love to hear more from others about their experiences and insights—are you seeing similar patterns in your recruitment efforts?
