The latest report from\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cv-library.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">CV-Library<\/a><\/strong>, the UK independent job board reveals that job applications in the engineering sector have increased by 13.5% in the last year. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report from CV-Library analysed job market data throughout 2019 and compared it with statistics from 2018. It reveals that the engineering industry saw the seventh biggest jump in applications year-on-year, with the top 10 including:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Hospitality &#8211; job applications up by 28.8%\u00a0<\/li><li>IT &#8211; job applications up by 28.6%\u00a0<\/li><li>Construction &#8211; job applications up by 23.4%\u00a0<\/li><li>Design &#8211; job applications up by 16.7%\u00a0<\/li><li>Property &#8211; job applications up by 15.3%\u00a0<\/li><li>Legal &#8211; job applications up by 14.5%\u00a0<\/li><li>Engineering &#8211; job applications up by 13.4%\u00a0<\/li><li>Marketing &#8211; job applications up by 12.9%\u00a0<\/li><li>Finance &#8211; job applications up by 8.5%\u00a0<\/li><li>Education &#8211; job applications up by 5.1%\u00a0<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A key driving factor behind the jump in applications may well be the fact that average pay in the engineering sector jumped up by 4.1% in 2019.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lee Biggins, CEO and founder of CV-Library commented: \u201cDespite severe political and economic uncertainty over the last year, it\u2019s positive to see that the engineering industry has continued to grow. We\u2019ve noticed that this is an ongoing trend across several sectors, which should instil confidence in employers who may have put their recruitment plans on pause in the run up to the election; especially as January is consistently one of the best times to hire.\u201d&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The report also shows that businesses in the engineering industry were advertising more roles in 2019, with the number of job adverts increasing by 2.4%. While not a huge increase, this could mean more competition for employers, as organisations battle it out to secure top talent.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lee Biggins continues: \u201cWhile competition for jobs may be higher in some sectors, this increase in job applications is great news for businesses looking for new talent. Don\u2019t wait to take advantage of this growth and start advertising your latest job roles now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re looking to expand your team this year, then you are in luck!
