3 min read · 22 Oct 2026The latest official vacancy figures give UK recruiters a useful reason to review assumptions about hiring demand rather than simply extrapolating from a busy or quiet month. The Office for National Statistics reported that estimated vacancies fell to 707,000 in May to July 2026, down 6,000 on the pr

For recruitment and HR providers, useful questions include whether prospective clients search by service, how much geography matters and whether the firm's offer can be represented clearly. Seekuno combines service search, locat

A message may concern tomorrow's interview, a role the candidate has just seen, a change in availability or a general question about working with the agency. For a small recruitment firm, staffing every chan

Sometimes a reason becomes clear later; sometimes it does not. A recruitment team benefits from recording what is known before tu
1 min read · 14 Oct 2026A vacancy brief can sound complete while still containing assumptions that make candidate search difficult. A requirement may have been mentioned casually, a preference may be written as essential, or different hiring contacts may have given slightly different versions of what matters.A short eviden
1 min read · 13 Oct 2026A recruitment team can receive messages from candidates who want very different things. One person is asking about a specific vacancy, another wants to update availability, somebody needs to change interview details and another is making a general approach. When every message lands in one queue, rec
