#13 In EuropeRevenue in the Temporary Employment Placement Agencies industry is anticipated to grow at a compound annual rate of 4.1% over the five years through 2025 to €270.9 billion. The COVID-19 outbreak meant key employers of temporary workers in the hospitality and tourist sector shut their doors and companies froze hiring due to economic uncertainty, dealing a sizeable blow to revenue at the beginning of the five-year period. As the economy reopened in 2021, companies quickly resumed hiring, leading to record vacancies, especially within the service sector, driving up revenue for recruitment agencies. The widespread adoption of remote and flexible work arrangements has altered demand patterns, with clients seeking specialised talent for hybrid or short-term digital projects. Labour shortages in healthcare, logistics and IT industries have further fuelled demand for temporary staffing solutions. At the same time, agencies have faced heightened competition from online staffing platforms and digital marketplaces, driving investment in technology and automation to enhance candidate matching and streamline operations. Despite this, recruitment agencies have seen their profit fall over the past five years due to economic uncertainty, inflation and rising business expenses increasing operating costs.
