KPMG & REC Report on Jobs June 2025


The headline figures evidence:

  • Candidate supply expands at the sharpest rate since the end of 2020

  • Demand for staff falls at softest rate in eight months

  • Pay growth strengthens but remains below the historical trend


So, more of the same, and I won't waste anyone's time by adding my opinion this month.

Except to say that it looks a lot like another tax grab in the autumn.
