Candidates are stalling on career moves in the travel sector due to the economic downturn, a travel recruiter has claimed.

Steve Newbold, director at Dome Recruitment, which has been trading for ten years, told Recruiter: “Some candidates are dubious about moving into an airline driven industry, where a lot of the news is about oil prices and aviation tax. When they go home and have the discussions about mortgage repayments and getting new jobs, unless there is a substantial amount of money for people to move jobs it’s getting trickier.”
