More applications to education roles, as job opportunities improve 

Are you looking to ramp up your hiring efforts as Brexit pressure eases? Well, according to the latest job market report from CV-Library, the UK’s leading independent job board, it’s definitely a good time. In fact, applications for new education jobs have increased by a promising 6.6% year-on-year. 
 
Indeed, the findings, which analysed job market data from October 2019 and compared it with findings from September 2019 and October 2018, found that salaries for education jobs also increased by an almost equal 6.3% year-on-year.  
 
Lee Biggins, founder and CEO of CV-Library, comments: “Education plays a crucial role in driving a skilled workforce, so it’s encouraging to see this sector perform so well in our latest job market report. Candidates are clearly responding to the market strength and with the country now facing a significant break between any likely conclusion to Brexit, it appears to be a positive time to hire. 
 
“That being said, it is important for employers to remain wary. We know that this sector is suffering from a major skills shortage and while applications are up, the result of the upcoming general election could have a huge impact on the job market and how funding is allocated.” Smiling teacher in education role
 
As well as this, the amount of education jobs on offer rose by a smaller 3.1% year-on-year, suggesting that employers across the sector are regaining faith in their hiring efforts once more.  
 
Biggins continues: “While many employers are tempted to wind down in the lead up to Christmas and the New Year, it’s a good opportunity to get ahead with your hiring plans. The promise of higher pay is driving applications up right now, but it’s important to evaluate and assess the suitability of a candidate before offering them a bumper new pay packet.  
 
“Set up a structured, fair and thorough hiring process to give you the best possible chance of making a great hire. Rushing or cutting corners can do more harm than good, and it can increase your chances of letting good candidates slip through the cracks.”
