🤏Pinch 👊 Punch, it’s the start of Q4 at CMR
Happy October 1st everyone. We’re now officially into Q4 and the final stretch of 2025 (where’s the year gone?!).
If Q3 is anything to go by, there’s still a huge uplift in new roles within our sector. Confidence has returned, and we are seeing activity across clients of all sizes and ages.
Compliance, payroll and marketing roles remain our busiest departments, with demand trending upwards week on week. The first two make a lot of sense, it’s the nature of the beast. But the HUGE uplift in marketing vacancies across clients is fascinating.
Let’s be honest, marketing was a “nice to have” a few years ago. Now, it’s a necessity. And if you’re not yet thinking about bringing an in-house marketer in, maybe you should?And I’m more than happy to offer my advice on this (shameless plug, but it is my newsletter).
Anyhow, here’s MWM, issue 11.
⏲️ CMR EVENT KLAXON – The Legislation Countdown Continues ⏲️
Did you see my LinkedIn post? This one here? Did you sign up for the EXCLUSIVE online event? With the CEO of REC, Neil Carberry?
Judging by the amount of sign ups, it’s highly likely so. But if not, this is an event that cannot be missed.
Neil and I will be talking candidly about what agencies, MSPs and clients will expect under the new umbrella legislation. This is going to be a warts and all view on what’s needed, and how you can prepare now.
Message me or one of the CMR team for the link to register.
💼 ROLES. You Need Them? We Got Them! 💼
Well, I did say we were busy. In fact, there are a record number of active roles on our system at the moment. That also means CMR is recruiting again (more about that in my final thoughts). Why am I telling you this? Well, if one of the roles below doesn’t fit, just get in touch with me or the (growing) CMRteam and we’ll help.

💭My Wednesday Wrap-Up… WE’RE HIRING💭
This industry never ceases to amaze me. With everything happening, most would fizzle out. But this sector keeps stepping up.
Which is making me and the team extremely busy with finding the right people for clients.
But I’d like to ask you if you know any great people looking for their next challenge?
We’ve just got the keys to our 10-person office, and we’re going all in with our growth plans. I’m on the lookout for an ambitious, client-focused individual who’s ideally got recruitment experience and is looking for a new challenge.
Genuinely, now is the perfect time to join us. All they need to do is get in touch with me for a conversation.
Again, thanks for your support and hope you enjoyed Issue 11.
