UK Job Market 2025: Surge in Job Seekers & Growth in Tech Roles
16/04/2025
UK Job Market in 2025: A Turning Point for Job Seekers and the Rise of Tech Opportunities Starting in 2025, the job market in the UK is seeing an enormous upswing, a return as strong as we’ve seen since 2020—a huge shift that is transforming how work happens. According to data from the Recruitment and Employment Confederation (REC), the number of people actively looking for work has jumped significantly due to company layoffs and slower hiring activity. Though the news might look dire, this shift also offers a plethora of new opportunities—particularly in emerging areas such as technology. Hiring Cools, But Workforce Grows Recent polls indicate an ongoing decline in permanent placement employments, but the pool of labor has expanded at the highest rate in close to five years. Many of the people seeking employment at this time are actually very skilled and have been let go or experiencing significant changes due to things such as restructurings all over various industries. One of the largest drivers of this change is the rise in payroll taxes that we've witnessed lately. This higher tax cost has caused many business individuals to think seriously about how they bring in new talent these days. Employers are still keeping back a little bit currently, waiting for things to get better economically before placing those huge long-term hiring bets. Modest Wage Growth Reflects Caution Though we've experienced a modest bump in pay—largely for short-term work this year—the overall rise in compensation is fairly tame. Businesses are increasingly using short-term contracts to ride out uncertainty, which is making digital preparedness and rapid switching of skills an even greater concern for job seekers. Flexible work is rapidly becoming the new normal and people need to be fast learners and technology-friendly if they are to catch up and wow future employers. Digital Skills in Demand: The Rise of the UK Tech Job Market Whereas industries such as manufacturing and banking have that familiar touch of slowing down, the UK tech job market is actually on the up. With that many companies going full speed ahead into digital transformation, IT jobs, cybersecurity jobs, cloud computing jobs, and software jobs are more in demand than ever, absolutely on fire. Not only are these jobs more secure, they also offer greater earning potential and the type of remote work flexibility that many people are craving. If you're thinking of a career change or want to future-proof your skills, now is the time to look at opportunities in the digital sector. Sites such as the IT Job Board offer access to the most up-to-date tech job vacancies in the UK, for both entry-level and experienced professionals across sectors. What This Means for Job Seekers in 2025 The surge in job candidates might be daunting, but it's also indicative of a resilient economy evolving with new realities. Businesses are remodeling the hiring process, and candidates need to change by upping skills, breaking into new industries, or delving into remote and freelance possibilities. For people who have tech skills or who are open to gaining new ones, the future looks absolutely exciting and promising. Whether you’re in transition, looking to upskill, or entering the workforce for the first time, staying agile is key. Final Thoughts The 2025 UK labour market is a story of contrasts—shrinking permanent appointments on one side, and growing opportunity in growth industries on the other. As more professionals look for work and companies reassess their recruitment policies, now is the ideal time to rethink your own career path. Look at the IT Jobs Board for the latest listings and dive into the new exciting phase awaiting tech professionals who put emphasis on resilience and what's next.
