Founder and CEO of CV-Library, Lee Biggins, commented on the findings, “The last seven months has been filled with a great amount of uncertainty and it’s understandable that so many recruitment professionals feel their mental health is suffering. Businesses need to be aware of these challenges and ensure they’re offering support to employees who may be struggling.

“What’s more, it’s no surprise that worrying about not being able to find a job is one of the biggest concerns for those in the recruitment sector, as many individuals have been made redundant and employment opportunities have been scarce. While the UK job market may take some time to fully recover, it’s important to remember that the situation is already improving. In fact, as time goes on, we’re seeing more job postings being added to our site every week.”
