Dear Subscriber,

You might have seen the recent news article from the BBC "UK firms hold off on hiring as job vacancies fall" suggesting a slight slowdown in the UK job market. It reports that the overall number of UK job vacancies saw a dip of 63,000 between March and May 2025, a trend consistent across various sectors. And the unemployment rate has edged up slightly to 4.6%. While it's true that companies are being a bit more strategic with their hiring, here at GlosJobs, we're still buzzing with new opportunities every single day!

This simply means it's a great time to refine your job search strategy on GlosJobs and truly stand out!
