MAY RECRUITMENT UPDATE 📢 1. May sees weaker decline in placements ⬇ Permanent staff appointments continued to fall in May, according to the latest survey of UK recruitment consultants. It was the twentieth successive month in which placements have fallen, but the latest decline was modest and the slowest since March 2023. A similar trend was seen for temp billings, with the latest contraction the weakest in four months. There were reports that slow decision-making, a lack of vacancies and specific candidate shortages weighed on placements. 2. Further uplift in pay rates ⬆ Amid reports of a competitive market landscape, alongside evidence of a ripple impact on base pay rates following April’s increases in the national minimum and living wages, typical starting pay for candidates rose again during May. For permanent workers, salaries were reported to have increased markedly and to only a slightly lesser extent than April’s four-month high. Temp staff saw a similar trend, with pay rising at only a slightly slower pace than in the previous month. 3. Staff vacancies down only slightly ⬇ Although demand for staff continued to fall in May, extending the current downturn to seven months, it did so only marginally and to the lowest degree in this sequence. Moreover, the latest fall was exclusively led by permanent workers as temp staff demand was unchanged in the latest survey period. 4. Staff availability rises to greatest degree since end of 2020 ⬆ May’s survey revealed another steep increase in staff availability. The rate of growth was the steepest recorded by the survey since December 2020. The faster expansion in the number of people looking for work was seen for permanent job roles. Panellists noted that a mixture of redundancies, higher unemployment and reduced demand for staff led to the broad rise in candidate availability.

Investing in your future is crucial, and pensions are a fantastic way to ensure a comfortable retirement. But, as a contractor, how do you navigate the pension landscape? 🤔 Private Pensions:  Operating as a sole trader or through your own Limited company means you're in charge of your pension plans. Yes, you can have a pension, but it's up to you to set it up. Start early to maximise your future benefits! 💰 Auto-Enrolment:  Good news for those under umbrella companies or agency PAYE! UK law requires employers to enrol qualifying employees in a workplace pension, contributing a minimum of 3% on top of your 5%. If you're eligible, you could be auto-enrolled after a 12-week deferment period - or request to join sooner 📋 The Impact on Contractors:  Agency PAYE contractors might find themselves with multiple pensions from various assignments. Consider consolidating into a single private pension for simplicity and control. For umbrella company employees, staying with one company could mean a singular, steady pension pot. Moving companies? Opt for early enrolment to avoid contribution gaps. 📢 Whether you're navigating auto-enrolment or setting up a private pension, planning is key to securing your financial future. Have questions?
