Uk Staffing Industry Statistics
With the UK staffing market turnover at £152.4 billion in 2023 and temporary staffing spend hitting £36.7 billion in Q4 2023, this page sets out what is really changing behind the scenes, from agency temps averaging 31.2 hours per week to pay rising 5.8% year on year to £12.45 per hour.

Uk Recruitment Industry Statistics
UK recruitment is already being remade by software and scrutiny, with 88% of agencies running an integrated tech stack in 2023 and compliance fines hitting £12 million total in 2023.
