Lee Biggins, CEO and founder of CV-Library comments: “It’s great news for the whole economy, not just the job market to see the construction and engineering industries topping job applications in UK over the last month. These sectors recruit skilled workers and with so much talk of skills shortages, this bodes well for 2022 and beyond. With Christmas approaching fast, to see the highest new CV registrations in the retail sector is also welcome news, providing more supply and demand balance than we’ve seen in recent times.” 

Biggins continues: “Much investment is still needed for recovery and hopefully the Government will be paying close attention to these emerging patterns and invest in training and development programmes accordingly.”
