The London temporary recruitment market has seen renewed employer confidence following a period of economic uncertainty. Temporary hiring is being driven by digital transformation initiatives, and employers are prioritising candidates with hybrid skillsets that combine financial expertise with technological proficiency. This shift is particularly evident in temporary roles supporting digital transformation and regulatory compliance. On the contrary, demand for traditional accountancy support roles has seen a slight decline, indicating a structural shift in the market.

Economic factors continue to influence hiring sentiment. Budget pressures and ongoing economic unpredictability have led to cautious hiring strategies, with moderate growth in temporary placements. However, candidate availability has improved due to workforce restructuring and increased jobseeker activity, helping to stabilise the market. Pay growth for temporary roles remains modest, with starting salaries rising at the slowest pace in recent years.
