It feels like job-seeking marketers have been waiting for the tide to turn all year when it comes to recruitment. Hope there may be a spike in available roles comes and goes, but, as we approach the mid-point of 2023, there may be cause for optimism.
IPA Bellwether data gathered exclusively for Marketing Week in April highlighted that a net balance of 16.7% of companies expected to increase employment levels in the three months following. These figures represented the first quarter of 2023 and were an increase from a net balance of 13.6% in the previous quarter.
Rowan Fisk, partner at recruitment firm 3Search, believes the tide is turning. In a recent LinkedIn post, he suggested the landscape is “hotting up” this June.
