Lee Biggins, founder and managing director of CV-Library comments:
“It’s great to see that employers in Bristol are remaining positive in the face of uncertainty, and that they continued to drive their recruitment efforts in the last quarter. This is particularly good news for local job hunters and anyone who may be looking for their next role. If you’re starting to get itchy feet and feel like it could be time to make your next career move, there are an abundance of opportunities in this great city right now.”
And there’s more good news for job hunters. Not only has Bristol experienced a job boom, but salaries in the city are also on the rise. In fact, advertised salaries saw an impressive increase of 7.5% when comparing year-on-year data.
Biggins concludes: “It’s clear from the data that not only are businesses in Bristol continuing to invest in their workforce, but they also recognise the need to offer competitive salaries in order to attract talented candidates. If you are looking for a new role, this further confirms that now is the perfect time to do so, especially if you’re looking to boost your pay packet!”
