Speaking about the stats, Barbara Kolosinska, Co-Owner and Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment (http://www.candm.co.uk/), said: "Considering the traditional summer slowdown, July was a very positive month for travel recruitment. We saw job placements, vacancies and new candidates all rising, which is the first time this year that all three metrics have increased in the same month.

"It's also very encouraging to see a rise in job placements compared to the same month last year – with August looking like it will improve on last year as well. With many candidates and decision makers returning from their summer breaks, these positive figures now put us in a healthy position as we head into the autumn months."
