Travel salaries rise
Average salaries for new travel jobs have risen to the highest level this year.
The average salary for November was £25,584, 2.21% more than in October and 6.15% higher than November last year.
"With salaries rising in the north, south and across the UK as a whole, the travel recruitment market really is ending 2014 on a high," said Barbara Kolosinska, sales director at C&M Travel Recruitment and Chisholm & Moore Executive Recruitment, which collated the figures.
"Average salaries for new travel jobs are now the highest they have been all year and we haven’t seen this much activity in the market for at least the past six years, so we are fully expecting 2015 to get off to a positive – and busy – start."
Candidate registrations saw double digit annual growth in November, while the amount of travel job vacancies remained way ahead of the average for 2014 so far.
But C&M said while its Reigate office recorded its highest number of new roles for over a year, London saw a dip in new standard vacancies.
