Online job recruitment activity and related employment opportunities across the United Kingdom rose sharply in June, as the Monster Employment Index UK showed a surge in online hiring activity, ending a downward trend observed during the previous three months. The Index climbed 17 points to 125 in June, driven by a greater number of opportunities for workers in sectors such as marketing, PR & media; public sector, defense and community; sales; and engineering. Only the research and development; and arts, entertainment, sports and leisure sectors saw a decline in offers. Year-on-year growth of the Index was twenty points, or 23 percent.
During June, a significant jump in online opportunities was reported within the marketing, PR and media sector, which rose considerably. Demand for workers in the public, defense and community, as well as engineering sectors also surged. All regions tracked by the Index registered increased online labour demand last month, with East Anglia registering the highest rate of growth. Online recruiting activity increased more moderately in the South East and Scotland.
