The modern-day recruitment industry has developed significantly over the last decade, but the industry as a whole has been around in the UK for a lot longer than people may realise.
Interestingly, staffing agencies were established as a result of WWII, in order to fill the workplace void left by those who had been called to duty. Fast forward to now, and recruitment is now one of the largest and most lucrative industries in the UK. There are currently more than 27,700 recruitment agencies in the country, and upwards of 234,000 results when searching for “recruitment consultant” in the UK on LinkedIn.
The CIPD’s Good Work Index found that 20% of people surveyed were planning to leave their jobs in the next 12 months, as opposed to 16% in 2021. This means that going forward, competition will be high for recruitment companies to secure the top talent for their clients, and that recruitment strategies need to be proactive and consultative.
