Unlocking the Puzzle of Rising Internal Vacancies in Recruitment Companies: Lessons from Manchester's Job Market and why we are hiring internally more than ever!

Here at First Recruitment Group, we're all about understanding the pulse of the job market and aligning our strategies with the ever-changing dynamics. That's why we're excited to delve into the insightful Bloomberg Jobs Report, which provides a comprehensive view of how the UK's employment landscape is evolving post-pandemic. In particular, the rise of Manchester as an employment hotspot caught our attention, resonating with our recent expansion and hiring efforts in the city.

The report's analysis unveils the shifting tides of employment opportunities across England, shedding light on the successes and challenges that come with the government's "levelling up" agenda. Manchester, a city with a rich industrial history, has emerged as a beacon of growth in the job market, aligning perfectly with our expansion plans. As we set up shop in Manchester, we're tapping into an employment scene that's brimming with potential and opportunities for both job seekers and employers.

However, the Bloomberg report doesn't just paint a rosy picture; it also highlights the intricacies of opportunity distribution. Areas that traditionally leaned towards the "Red Wall" and shifted Conservative in 2019 are still navigating the path to prosperity. This reality underscores our commitment to being at the forefront of connecting job seekers with the right openings, even in areas that are still finding their footing.

Our choice to expand our teams in Manchester isn't just a random decision; it's rooted by the huge growth we are facing as a business (which of course, is not a bad thing!). Manchester decided to redefine itself around modern, forward-looking industries like Engineering, Oil & Gas, Life Sciences and Renewables. This shift not only brought in jobs but also aligns with the changing nature of work in the post-pandemic era.

As we consider the report's insights about job sector concentration, we're mindful of staying agile and adaptable. Sectors like ours, are taking the lead in job postings, which means our internal teams are well-prepared to meet these demands. It's about aligning our expertise with the evolving needs of the job market.

But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The report's observations about regions with fewer job postings reflect the challenges of historical declines in traditional industries. This is where we step in with our commitment to adapt and diversify. Instead of dwelling on the past, we're actively expanding our services to encompass emerging job sectors.

In a nutshell, the Bloomberg Jobs Report serves as a guiding light for us at First Recruitment Group. We're not just in the business of matching job seekers with openings; we're in the business of adapting, evolving, and pioneering change. As we continue to evolve in the Warrington Head Office, we're ready to play our part in shaping the workforce of tomorrow. Our journey is a testament to our dedication to staying ahead of the curve and driving the future of employment.
