Craig Sweeney: Remote work and pay transparency trends in the UK

July 25, 2024

Employers in the UK are at risk of limiting future access to talent as remote working options and pay transparency decline, according to Craig Sweeney, EVP of global strategic talent solutions at WilsonHCG.

When speaking to journalists from The Global Recruiter, Sweeney also discussed the latest data from WilsonHCG’s talent intelligence and labor market analytics platform (formerly Claro Analytics).

The data revealed the UK jobs market is still on a downward trajectory with job postings dropping 3.8% between May and June 2024. Job postings for remote roles fell by 20% in the first half of the year and job postings with salary details fell by 14%.

"It is crucial that employers are considering what the longer-term impact of any changes to working preferences and salary details will have on their employer branding and future hiring intentions,” Sweeney added.
