Strong month for job placements

Speaking about the stats, Barbara Kolosinska, Co-Owner and Managing Director at C&M Travel Recruitment (http://www.candm.co.uk/), said: "With another increase in March, job placements in the travel industry have now risen in three of the last four months, which is excellent to see. Perhaps more importantly, placements have only fallen year-on-year once in the past seven months, so we appear to be gaining some momentum as we head into spring.

"Last month's dip in candidates and vacancies is disappointing, but April appears to be a much better month for new job seekers, so hopefully this will convert into further strong placement figures in the months ahead."
