The charity’s Emma May pointed out that at some points during the first lockdown, there were barely half-a-dozen jobs being advertised.
Now the number was “higher than when the economy was booming and before anyone had heard of Covid-19.
“It’s a mixture of a national economy that is bouncing back, businesses trying to return to normal and an increased confidence in all areas of life.
“Everything we are seeing is indicative of a huge turnabout in recruitment and employment trends.
“It has all happened very suddenly but it is certainly exciting and there are plenty of opportunities to take advantage.”
However, many of the new positions being advertised were different to those lost during the pandemic, “meaning some applicants will not be aligned to the vacant roles in terms of their skills and experience. That’s where we are here to help.”
