Online job recruitment activity and related employment opportunities across the United Kingdom declined in July, as the Monster Employment Index UK showed a slight decrease in online hiring activity, following a surge in online offers observed during the previous month. The Index dipped two points to 123 in July, driven by fewer opportunities for workers in sectors such as banking, finance and insurance and suggesting a summer slowdown in offers. Meanwhile, the Index revealed a continued increase in online job demand for workers in key sectors such as management and consulting; and telecommunications. Year-on-year growth of the Index was 15 points, or 14 percent.
During July, slightly fewer offers were measured within the banking, finance and insurance; accounting, audit and taxes; and sales sectors. In contrast, demand for workers in the management and consulting, telecommunications and IT sectors rose considerably.
