New Vacancies and Candidates Both Rise, But Salaries Fall

May provided mixed results for travel recruitment, but both the number of new job vacancies and new candidates increased impressively in the month, according to the latest Travel Salary Index from C&M Recruitment Consultancy (http://www.candm.co.uk/) and Chisholm & Moore Executive Recruitment (http://www.chisholmandmoore.co.uk/), which is based on all new vacancies registered at the companies.

In fact, May marked the highest number of new registrations from candidates for over a year (since March 2012) and was around a third higher than the 2012 average, while the number of new travel vacancies stood at its highest level since last September and was also significantly above the average figure seen in recent months.

Commenting on the figures, Barbara Kolosinska, sales director at C&M Recruitment Consultancy, said: “It’s great to see such a large rise in the number of candidates registering for travel vacancies in May, and it’s even more encouraging to see so many travel companies looking to recruit more staff.

“The second half of the year is typically busier for the travel recruitment industry, so it’s a fantastic sign to see so much activity in the early summer.”

Travel salaries experience first real dip of 2013

With a 7.36 per cent monthly fall, May saw the first significant dip in salaries this year. However, this decrease can largely be attributed to a monthly fall in the wage of higher-salaried executive jobs, which can be notably more volatile than other travel positions.

While May is the first month this year to see an annual fall in new travel job salaries, the reduction of 0.40 per cent is minimal and marks a dip of just £102.

“There’s no denying that May’s figures are disappointing when compared to the past few months, but it’s worth remembering that April’s figure was at a near-record high,” said Ms Kolosinska.

“So far, average travel salaries in 2013 have been incredibly encouraging and there is no reason to think that the second half of the year should be any less impressive than the first.

All figures are drawn from the salaries of the month’s new vacancies advertised with C&M Recruitment Consultancy and Chisholm & Moore Executive Recruitment.

C&M Recruitment Consultancy was established in 1998 and is the largest and most successful specialist travel recruitment company in the UK.

Start to Continues Despite Modest Monthly Dip

The average salary for a new job in the travel sector decreased by 1.93 per cent to reach £26,785 in March, but still increased annually by 1.35 per cent, the latest research from C&M Recruitment Consultancy (http://candm.co.uk/) shows.

While this is the first monthly fall of the year so far, salaries have increased strongly since last December, meaning that average wages are still significantly up compared to just a few months ago. In fact, the three-month salary average (a more reliable indicator of recent trends) shows that salaries have increased by 3.30 per cent in recent months and by 4.87 per cent since last March.

Barbara Kolosinska, sales director at C&M Recruitment Consultancy, commented: “So far this year we have seen average salaries increase strongly compared to the second half of last year and these figures should provide a boost to those looking to find a new travel role. It remains to be seen if this pace of growth will continue in the coming months, but there are small signs of increasing confidence among employers.”

But increased strongly in 2012

The figures also reveal that the average starting salary for a new job in the travel industry increased by an average of 5.12 per cent last year to reach £24,425. Although this was lower than 2011’s annual increase of 9.77 per cent, it is still above the rate of inflation and notably higher than the 0.2 per cent average increase reported by the Office for National Statistics.

Considering March 2013’s average wage was £26,785, this confirms that the starting salaries of new jobs advertised with C&M at the beginning of this year have been significantly higher than those for equivalent positions made available at the end of 2012.

“Considering the problems facing the travel industry and the general economy in 2012, it is interesting to see that average starting salaries actually increased very positively in the travel sector last year. At C&M we also saw an 11.54 per cent increase in new travel vacancies in 2012, which further backs up the theory that the industry is set to see a positive 2013,” Ms Kolosinska added.

All figures are drawn from the salaries of the month’s new vacancies advertised with C&M Recruitment Consultancy and Chisholm & Moore.

Positive signs for travel industry as salaries rise again

After last month’s slight fall, travel job salaries rebounded strongly in April to rise by 1.44 per cent in the month, according to the latest Travel Salary Index from C&M Recruitment Consultancy (http://www.candm.co.uk/) and Chisholm & Moore Executive Recruitment (http://www.chisholmandmoore.co.uk/).

The figures, which were drawn from all new vacancies registered at the companies in the month, marked a recovery after the 1.93 per cent fall seen in March. The rise means that April’s figure of £27,172 is just £140 short of the £27,312 total seen in February 2013, which marked the index’s highest average since its records began in 2010.

The annual change in travel job salaries was even more pronounced with a 14.97 per cent rise, although the three-month average figures (which commonly produce a more reliable indicator of recent trends) showed gentler rises of 0.34 per cent in the month and 8.06 per cent in the year.

Commenting on the figures, Barbara Kolosinska, sales director at C&M Recruitment Consultancy, said: “This can only be seen as great news for travel employees. While there may not be as many jobs available now as before the recession, the positions that are vacant are offering a far improved salary. Anyone who manages to secure a new travel job in the near future should reap the benefits of the more generous salaries currently being provided by travel companies.”

More candidates, more jobs

In further positive news for the travel industry, the number of new vacancies increased in April by a huge 19.4 per cent, although this was still down annually, while the number of new candidates registering their interest in travel jobs rose by 3.35 per cent to reach its highest level in over a year.

“April’s rise in both new vacancies and new candidates can only be seen as a positive indicator for the travel industry. It still remains too early to state that the sector has recovered from the economic problems of recent years, but all signs point to the industry being on the right track,” said Ms Kolosinska.

All figures are drawn from the salaries of the month’s new vacancies advertised with C&M Recruitment Consultancy and Chisholm & Moore Executive Recruitment.

Travel wages dip for the summer

AVG. wages for jobs travel took a slight dip in June, fell by 2.82 percent, compared with may, according to the last salary index travel from C & M hiring of consultants (http://www.candm.co.uk/) and Chisholm executive recruiting (http://www.chisholmandmoore.co.uk/) & Moore.

The £ 24,460 average wage is the lowest seen so far this year, but the index, which is based on all the new vacancies registered at the two companies, the month, also showed that wages increased slightly compared with June 2012, while the average of the three months also increased annually at healthy 4.81 percent.

Analyzing the figures, Barbara Kolosinska, sales manager at C M recruitment consultants & said: "despite the monthly dip in June, travel agent salary still remained until the year-on-year and is above the average seen in 2012.

"The month also saw a 15 percent annual increase in new jobs posted by C M recruitment consultants and & Chisholm & Moore, suggesting that the coming months could be a busy period for recruitment travel market."

Sunbathing takes priority for job seekers for June

The start of summer of UK it seems to affect the number of new candidates registering with the two companies in June as the month saw a significant decline in applicants compared with may. However, June's figure was still up by around one third compared with the same month in 2012, while it is also worth remembering that all of May was the highest rate for 14 months.

MS Kolosinska commented: "with the Sun coming out so rare in the United Kingdom, it is understandable that people's attention will be temporarily removed from the job search! We can actually see this trend most years-summer (along with, inevitably, December) is traditionally the quietest in terms of new applicants.

"However, with many new jobs in our books, in recent weeks, expect to see many new candidates that appear throughout the rest of the summer."

All numbers are drawn from the payroll of the month new jobs advertised with C & M hiring of consultants and executive recruitment Chisholm & Moore.

C hiring of consultants, & M was founded in 1998 and is the largest and most successful specialist travel recruitment company in the United Kingdom.

Travel recruitment market hits more positive level in years

After a period of care and labour market slack, travel has rebounded to reach the most positive level this decade, according to the hiring of consultants & M C (http://www.candm.co.uk/).

The claim follows the release of new data showing that the number of new jobs attributed to the company during the first six months of the year rose by 3.01 percent, compared with 2012 and by a huge 12.76 percent compared with the same period of 2010.

The annual increase is even more impressive considering the falling 0.83 percent of new jobs in the first half of 2012, compared to the first half of 2011, and is a clear indication that companies hiring intentions improved.

In addition, recent research from the recruitment and employment Confederation (REC) and KPMG found that permanent job placements grew at their fastest rate since April of 2011, while data from the BDO claimed that British companies intentions to create more jobs rose to their highest level in nearly two years.

Commenting on the figures, Barbara Kolosinska, sales manager at C M recruitment consultants & said: "the number of new jobs we have had in recent months has risen sharply compared with last year, and this is extremely encouraging for the labour market and the economy as a whole.

"While it is still too early to say for sure, definitely seems that companies are becoming more optimistic about the short-term Outlook and is increasingly confident about the creation of new jobs."

MS Kolosinska added: "it's also great to see that other surveys indicate a similarly positive Outlook, which is a fantastic indicator that this upturn of recruitment is widespread.

"Of course, things can change quickly in the labour market, but we are optimistic (and very optimistic and I think) that the rest of the year, will be so positive, as have the first six months."
