While year-on-year figures show slight growth, inconsistent monthly performance raises concerns. Broader uncertainty, including election impacts and economic challenges, continues to weigh on the sector despite hopes for improvement following recent interest rate cuts. Long-term stability remains uncertain, prompting firms to carefully manage costs and risks. https://lnkd.in/eWdtn--E

Why recruiting an interim professional might be your best move yet... In today's business environment, flexibility and expertise are key. Here are some reasons why hiring an interim professional can be advantageous. ➡ Immediate Expertise: Interim professionals bring a wealth of experience and can hit the ground running, providing instant value without the need for extensive onboarding. ➡ Cost-Effective: While the daily rate might seem higher, overall costs can be lower since you avoid expenses related to benefits, long-term salaries, and recruitment. ➡ Flexibility: Scale your workforce up or down based on current needs.
