GDP growth slowed from 0.7% in the first quarter to 0.3% in Q2, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2025\/11\/13\/uk-q3-gdp-2025.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a mere 0.1%<\/a> in Q3. Over 2025 as a whole, the UK economy is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/cg5m7mg8p59o\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">expected<\/a> to have grown by around 1.5%, with a similar expansion anticipated in 2026.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiring headwinds have been considerable, partly reflecting tax changes announced in late 2024, which included a significant rise in employers\u2019 social security contributions and a further large increase in the minimum wage. Uncertainty around provisions in the government\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/3391dd3c-e8e4-460c-9e6c-38890dee5305\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">workers\u2019 rights bill<\/a> and global factors, including tariff volatility, have tended to reinforce the mood of employer caution. With the Chancellor announcing further tax rises in this year\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ft.com\/content\/f8a8ad84-e351-4c7b-aa90-e5ce2bf665b4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Budget<\/a> and a planned 4.1% rise in the main rate of the minimum wage (with larger increases for younger workers), headwinds look set to continue.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The labour market has been steadily weakening against this backdrop, though job losses have remained modest to date. The unemployment rate has edged higher, reaching 5% in the third quarter, its highest level since early 2021. Vacancies have shown tentative signs of stabilisation, following a sustained decline from post-pandemic peaks over the previous three years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2025-09-22\/uk-stats-body-launches-fresh-push-to-fix-data-quality-crisis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data quality issues<\/a> affecting the Labour Force Survey mean it\u2019s hard to be confident in what\u2019s happening around workforce participation and economic inactivity, which continues to be a tricky blind spot for UK policymakers. At face value, the figures suggest that working-age inactivity has been declining over the past year and a half. However, alternative data sources paint a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.resolutionfoundation.org\/press-releases\/new-analysis-suggests-inactivity-is-rising-and-unemployment-has-not-yet-peaked\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">contrasting picture<\/a> of rising inactivity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the current low-hiring, low-firing market dynamics persist, people in work are tending to hunker down while new entrants and those out of work face a tough labour market. The number of job-to-job moves during the third quarter was reported at 708,000, down almost 30% from the late-2021 post-pandemic peak, though these figures also come with question marks over accuracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the emphasis shifting towards downside risks to the economy and job market, and with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/articles\/czxkvkwjl5eo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inflation easing<\/a>, there are growing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/business\/bank-england-cut-interest-rates-december-again-q1-2026-2025-11-18\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">expectations<\/a> that the Bank of England is set to lower interest rates further in the coming months. Bank Rate has been cut five times from a peak of 5.25% to the current 4%. Further rate reductions could help support growth in the economy and ultimately help boost hiring demand.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the economy performs at the higher end of expectations in 2026 and employer confidence recovers, that could translate into a stabilisation or even a modest rise in vacancy levels and a moderate dip in unemployment. Conversely, a weaker economic performance coupled with continued employer wariness would likely see further declines in vacancies and rises in unemployment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hiring demand remains soft, but has stabilised&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 21 November, the number of UK job postings on Indeed was 19% below its 1 February 2020, pre-pandemic baseline, and was down roughly 8% year-on-year. But the decline has stabilised somewhat in the second half of the year. The current level of postings is roughly on par with levels recorded in April. Postings rose 4% over the past month, one of the strongest monthly performances outside of the pandemic, led by strength in logistics-related categories, pharmacy, mechanical engineering, customer service, food preparation &amp; service, personal care &amp; home health and cleaning &amp; sanitation.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK remains an outlier compared with peer economies in Europe and the US, where postings generally remain above pre-pandemic baselines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d341ezm4iqaae0.cloudfront.net\/hiringlaborg\/sites\/3\/2025\/12\/08174918\/image-14-1024x640.png\" alt=\"Line chart titled \u201cUK job postings have stabilised in recent months\u201d shows the Indeed Job Postings Index for leading global economies.

Annual growth of regular pay excluding bonuses was 4.6% in the three months to September. That was the lowest since April 2022, albeit remaining well above the 3% range considered consistent with the Bank of England\u2019s 2% inflation target. The Bank (and most observers) expect wage growth to ease further in coming months, easing risks of inflation persistence and potentially paving the way for further interest rate reductions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Workers continue to see real-terms pay gains as wage growth exceeds inflation. But that growth is slowing \u2013 the annual increase in regular real wages slowed to 0.5% in the three months to September, the slowest in more than two years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2026, wage growth for the lowest-paid workers is expected to stay robust as minimum wage hikes continue \u2013 a dynamic that will boost purchasing power for these workers, but could also add to cost pressures on employers.

That said, our research in the US suggests it\u2019s not always clear in which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringlab.org\/2025\/10\/28\/how-employers-are-talking-about-ai-in-job-postings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">context<\/a> employers are referring to AI in job postings, indicating that some may not be entirely clear on the use case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hiringlab.org\/2025\/09\/23\/ai-at-work-report-2025-how-genai-is-rewiring-the-dna-of-jobs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AI is reshaping skills requirements across occupations<\/a>, with routine tasks increasingly automated, while humans retain strategic oversight and responsibility. Currently, 83% of AI-driven skill changes occur in software development and 73% in marketing. Most roles are experiencing a hybrid transformation, where AI handles repetitive work, and employees focus on decision-making, operations management, and strategic responsibilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The UK labour market has settled into a steady but subdued pattern in recent months, with hiring demand having remained weak but job losses staying modest to date. Employers continue to grapple with cost pressures and, combined with softer market conditions, that appears to be driving subtle shifts in their approach to benefits and salary transparency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There remains little sign, though, of the labour market entering a more material downturn. The prevailing mood continues to be one of hesitancy rather than despondency, while there are pockets of the job market which are growing. What\u2019s needed is for employers to gain confidence \u2013 perhaps post-Budget clarity will help a little, albeit there are few signs of anything game-changing on the horizon.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Methodology<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Data on seasonally adjusted Indeed job postings are an index of the number of seasonally adjusted job postings on a given day, using a seven-day trailing average. Feb. 1, 2020, is our pre-pandemic baseline, so the index is set to 100 on that day. We seasonally adjust each series based on historical patterns in 2017, 2018, and 2019. We adopted this methodology in January 2021.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>To calculate the average rate of wage growth, we follow an approach similar to the Atlanta Fed <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.atlantafed.org\/chcs\/wage-growth-tracker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>US Wage Growth Tracker<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>, but we track jobs, not individuals. We begin by calculating the median posted wage for each country, month, job title, region and salary type (hourly, monthly or annual). Within each country, we then calculate year-on-year wage growth for each job title-region-salary type combination, generating a monthly distribution. Our monthly measure of wage growth for the country is the median of that distribution.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>The number of job postings on Indeed.com, whether related to paid or unpaid job solicitations, is not indicative of potential revenue or earnings of Indeed, which comprises a significant percentage of the HR Technology segment of its parent company, Recruit Holdings Co., Ltd.
