Understanding your profit margins is crucial for success in the recruitment industry. Our Margin Index Report provides recruitment business owners with a detailed breakdown of profit margins across key UK sectors. This quarter, we focus on six vital industries: Education, Construction, Healthcare, Industrial, Hospitality, and Driving.

What’s in the Report?

The Margin Index Report delivers valuable insights into how recruitment profit margins have shifted across these sectors, helping you identify trends, opportunities, and potential challenges. Whether you specialise in a single sector or operate across multiple industries, this data will empower you to refine your strategy and maximise profitability.

This Quarter’s Focus Sectors

  • Education: Strong growth in demand for teaching and specialist roles, with government funding supporting recruitment.
  • Construction: A steady increase in margins, driven by ongoing infrastructure projects and improved supply chain stability.
  • Healthcare: A decline in profitability due to NHS budget constraints, increased competition, and rising compliance costs.
  • Industrial: Margins saw steady growth, supported by stable demand in manufacturing, automation, and logistics.
  • Hospitality: The biggest decline in margins, reflecting economic pressures, rising wage costs, and post-Brexit labour shortages.
  • Driving: A slight dip in margins, impacted by higher fuel costs, wage increases, and evolving transport technology.
