Autumn Budget 2025: What UK Recruitment Firms Need to Know Before the Big Day

The UK recruitment industry is at a turning point. Around 86% of businesses are concerned about what the upcoming Autumn Budget 2025 will mean for them. With more candidates available, fewer job openings, and weaker pay growth, many employers are hoping this year’s Autumn Budget will bring some relief and clarity.

The Autumn Budget 2024 was tough for recruiters, National Insurance rose by 1.2%, the threshold fell to £5,000, and the National Living Wage hit £12.21/hour, driving up hiring costs. On the upside, Corporation Tax stayed at 25%, and new healthcare and infrastructure investments hinted at growth opportunities.
