  • Will market insight produce practical recommendations for your vacancy?

    We use employer and job-seeker research to advise on salary, flexibility, candidate availability, role design and process risk. The output is a practical change to the hiring strategy, not a generic observation that the market is difficult. Career opportunities mattered to 73% of employees, compared with an employer estimate of 56%, demonstrating the need to position progression credibly.
  • Will the person giving advice also remain responsible for delivery?

    At people2people, advisory conversations remain connected to the consultant managing the search. That continuity matters because new information emerges through candidate calls, interviews and offer discussions. Sixty-four per cent of hiring managers had lost a candidate because of speed, making accountable follow-through commercially important.
  • Can the agency distinguish application volume from genuine candidate quality?

    Our 2026 research recorded job advertisements falling 6% while applications increased 6%. More applicants can create false confidence when relevance is weak. Our capability material records 106,000 candidates interviewed and 63,000 permanent and temporary roles filled, supporting a qualification-led approach.
  • Will strong candidates be managed when confidence and competition are changing?

    Employer hiring confidence fell to 48% while job-seeker confidence rose to 58% in our 2026 findings. Cautious decision-making can collide with candidates who are willing to keep moving. A 97% public customer satisfaction figure supports our focus on communication and follow-through, but every live process still needs clear feedback timing.
  • Can the relationship extend beyond recruitment commentary?

    people2people can connect recruitment with temporary staffing, payroll, contractor management, RPO, MSP, HR consulting and special projects. This matters when market insight identifies a wider workforce issue. Our capability material records more than 5,000 pay transactions each month, providing operating scale behind the payroll service.
