I&rsquo;ve been leading DNA Recruit for over 15 years and have seen the market change. For 2025 my team and I are seeing peak demand for tech contractors, AI/ML specialists are commanding &pound;800-1200 a day.
Cybersecurity experts are still essential as threats evolve, data analysts are key for businesses going through digital transformation.
My healthcare division is seeing sustained demand for medical professionals and we&rsquo;re seeing rates go up for skilled trades with infrastructure projects and economic changes.
<h3> Current Contracting Roles</h3>
 Technology Specialists
At the heart of this are the Technology Specialists. The demand for AI and machine learning skills is going through the roof as companies are rushing to get these technologies into their business. In 2024 these contractors were commanding day rates of &pound;750-&pound;1,000. It&rsquo;s not a luxury, it&rsquo;s a necessity to automate processes that were previously inefficient and save costs and gain an edge. Companies like IBM and Cisco are bringing in contractors for specific projects to plug the security gaps.
 But it&rsquo;s not just AI. Cybersecurity specialists are in demand too, commanding day rates of &pound;600-&pound;850. As cyber threats get more complex organisations are realising they need skilled professionals to design security frameworks to protect their data. This means those with cybersecurity skills are now part of any business plan.
<h3> Healthcare Professionals</h3>
 The healthcare industry is another area where contractor roles are on the rise. There was a 25% increase in contracting opportunities for mental health professionals from 2022 to 2024. This is due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health across populations. With such a high demand for mental health support services many healthcare providers are looking to fill gaps in staffing quickly and effectively by using temporary staff. Also, we shouldn&rsquo;t overlook nursing and allied health professionals. As healthcare demands increase due to an ageing population and more chronic illnesses, contractors in these areas are presented with lots of opportunities to work in various settings, from hospitals to community clinics. In addition to technology and healthcare, let&rsquo;s explore other emerging sectors where contracting roles are witnessing significant growth.
<h3> Skilled Trades</h3>
Trades are in high demand due to all the construction and housing projects. For example, as governments are spending on infrastructure &ndash; road works or building renovations &ndash; contractors in construction roles are key to getting the project done. Specifically, electrical and plumbing experts are in more demand than ever as industries go green and aim for sustainability and energy efficiency.
Projections show contracting roles in engineering will grow by 15% over the next 5 years &ndash; more space for tradespeople as infrastructure needs increase.
Following closely behind skilled trades are opportunities present in financial services where compliance remains key amidst regulatory updates. Financial Services
In financial services compliance and risk consultancy contractors are key as businesses navigate the ever-changing regulatory landscape. As businesses are constantly evolving their strategies with the changing legislation, tax specialists are also in high demand during this transition period.
The demand for tax specialists has grown significantly as businesses look to get their fiscal house in order and comply with new laws.
The diverse range of contracting roles shows how agile industries need to be in 2025 as they look for specialist skills to match the modern challenges. Now let&rsquo;s dive in and see how this will play out.
<h3>Predicting Future Demand</h3>
 As we move to a greener economy the demand for green construction methods will only continue to grow. This is driven by tighter regulations and increased awareness of environmental sustainability. Companies want to stay competitive are investing in energy efficient buildings and materials not only to meet the regulations but to attract eco conscious clients.
Those in sustainable design or green building certifications will have plenty of opportunities in contracting roles.
<h3>Digital Transformation</h3>
Digital transformation is changing the contracting landscape, making everything more efficient and creating new skills. Contractors are not just adapting to new technology, they are rethinking how work gets done. Take for example the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into project management systems. These tools can analyse data patterns and provide insights, save time and reduce errors.
But this requires contractors to have technical knowledge and strategic thinking to use these innovations effectively.
Data analytics can&rsquo;t be ignored. As projects produce more data than ever, contractors need to be able to interpret that data to make decisions. This means training in analytics tools like Tableau or Power BI. A contractor trained in these tools adds value to themselves and their teams by turning data into strategy.
You can&rsquo;t ignore data analytics in this. As projects produce more data than ever projects have before, contractors need to be able to interpret that data to make informed decisions. That means training in analytics tools like Tableau or Power BI. A contractor trained in those tools not only increases their own value but also the value of their team by turning raw data into strategy.
While technical skills are key, soft skills are important too.
Flexibility has never been more important. With technology and methodologies changing all the time, being able to adapt and learn quickly will be what sets contractors apart. Those who can learn new concepts quickly and apply them well will be in high demand &mdash; especially as businesses try to navigate the changes brought on by digital platforms.
Remote working has changed the way people interact, making strong communication and emotional intelligence crucial skills for contractors to have.
One example of this is the growth of virtual reality (VR) in design work. Contractors in fields like architecture or engineering can now include VR walkthroughs in their client proposals, to engage and educate clients on complex projects. This innovation not only improves the presentation but also the outcome of the project.
So contractors should consider training in:
● &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Project management software: Asana or Trello.
● &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Data visualisation: Tools that turn data into pretty pictures.
● &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Collaborative platforms: More advanced use of digital tools mentioned above.
But navigating these digital changes isn&rsquo;t without its challenges.
For contractors, mastering new technology means adopting a lifelong learning approach; it&rsquo;s not just about knowing how to do your job but about continuous learning in your field. Organisations will prefer contractors who invest in their development, who have scalable skills that match the future. Those who adapt will find themselves well positioned in this changing world.
As these trends shape the industry landscape, it's vital to consider how individuals and organisations can prepare themselves for success in this evolving environment.

We have become aware of an increasing number of scams where individuals are posing as our&nbsp;recruiters to deceive unsuspecting job seekers. These fraudulent messages appear to be primarily&nbsp;circulating on WhatsApp, although they might not be restricted to this platform. The intent of these&nbsp;scams is unclear, but it&rsquo;s widely believed within the industry that the goal is to harvest personal&nbsp;information, often facilitated through the hacking your WhatsApp contacts.
At DNA Recruit Ltd, we prioritize your privacy and are fully committed to GDPR compliance. Protecting your trust and ensuring a secure recruitment process is our top priority. Please keep in mind: While our recruiters may use WhatsApp to communicate with candidates,&nbsp;they will never reach out without prior consent or as an initial point of contact.

<li>Unrealistic offers: Beware of job opportunities that seem too good to be true, such as extremely high pay for little effort. They likely are.</li>

<li>Lack of specifics: Scammers often provide vague or incomplete information about the job or company. Always verify the credentials of the organization before proceeding.</li>
<li>Requests for personal information: Genuine recruiters will never ask for sensitive details like bank account numbers or ID documents at the start of the process.</li>
<li>Unprofessional tone: Watch out for messages with poor grammar, unprofessional language, or email addresses that don&rsquo;t match our official domains (@dnarecruit.com or @dynamicnewalliances.com).</li>

WHATSAPP SCAM - WHAT IT IS AND WHAT TO DO

Workplace banter can be a double-edged sword. While it has the power to strengthen team bonds and create a vibrant workplace culture, it can also inadvertently cross boundaries and lead to serious consequences. Understanding how to navigate this delicate balance is crucial for both employers and employees.
Key Takeaways:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Clear policies and procedures prevent workplace banter from becoming harassment &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Training helps staff recognise and handle inappropriate behaviour effectively &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;An inclusive culture balances friendly interactions with professional respect
 What is Banter in the Workplace?
Workplace banter typically involves playful exchanges, jokes and casual conversations between colleagues. When managed well, it can boost team morale, reduce workplace stress and foster stronger professional relationships. According to research conducted by the <a href="https://warwick.ac.uk/newsandevents/pressreleases/new_study_shows/">University of Warwick</a> have shown that happiness in the workplace can increase productivity by up to 12%.
However, banter's impact largely depends on context, delivery and the relationships between those involved. What one person considers light-hearted fun might feel uncomfortable or offensive to another, making it essential to approach workplace interactions with awareness and sensitivity.
The Fine Line Between Banter and Harassment
Understanding where banter ends and harassment begins is crucial for maintaining a healthy workplace environment. Harassment is defined by the <a href="https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/contents">Equality Act 2010</a> as unwanted behaviour based on protected characteristics that breaches an individual's dignity or produces an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating, or offensive environment.
Common examples of banter crossing into harassment include:
- Making jokes about someone's ethnic background, religion, or sexual orientation - Repeatedly teasing someone about their age or disability - Sharing inappropriate memes or content related to gender stereotypes - Making unwelcome comments about someone's appearance or personal life
Organisations face significant risks when banter becomes harassment, including:
- Legal liability and compensation claims - Damage to company reputation - Decreased employee morale and productivity - Higher staff turnover rates - Increased absence due to stress or anxiety
Creating a Culture of Respectful Communication
Building a positive workplace culture requires intentional effort and clear guidelines. Organisations should focus on:
Setting Clear Expectations
Establish and communicate clear boundaries for workplace behaviour, emphasising that respect must underpin all interactions. Create guidelines that acknowledge the role of friendly conversation while setting firm limits on inappropriate content.
Promoting Inclusivity
Encourage team-building activities that celebrate diversity and foster understanding between colleagues from different backgrounds. This naturally reduces the likelihood of inappropriate banter by building empathy and awareness.
Policies and Procedures for Addressing Inappropriate Banter
Robust policies serve as the foundation for managing workplace behaviour effectively. Essential elements include:
Dignity at Work Policy
This should clearly outline:
- What constitutes acceptable and unacceptable behaviour - The organisation's commitment to maintaining a respectful workplace - Consequences for policy violations - Protection against victimisation for those who report concerns
Reporting and Investigation Procedures
Implement a clear, confidential process for reporting concerns, ensuring:
- Multiple reporting channels are available - All complaints are taken seriously and investigated promptly - Fair and consistent handling of investigations - Protection for both complainants and accused during investigations
Training and Education
Regular training plays a vital role in preventing inappropriate behaviour and promoting positive workplace interactions. Key focus areas should include:
For Employees
- Understanding different forms of harassment - Recognising personal biases and their impact - Developing emotional intelligence - Learning effective communication techniques
For Managers
- Handling complaints effectively - Recognising early warning signs of inappropriate behaviour - Leading by example in workplace communications - Supporting team members who raise concerns
Practical Tips for Navigating Workplace Banter
For Employees
1. Think before you speak: Consider how your words might be interpreted by others from different backgrounds or experiences 2. Read the room: Pay attention to nonverbal signs that indicate discomfort 3. Avoid sensitive topics: Steer clear of comments about protected characteristics 4. Speak up: If you witness inappropriate behaviour, challenge it respectfully
For Managers
1. Model appropriate behaviour: Your actions set the tone for the team 2. Address issues promptly: Don't let inappropriate behaviour escalate 3. Create safe channels for feedback: Ensure team members feel comfortable raising concerns 4. Regular check-ins: Monitor team dynamics and address potential issues early
Final Word
Successful workplace banter requires striking a delicate balance between fostering a friendly atmosphere and maintaining professional boundaries. By establishing clear guidelines, providing proper training and promoting a culture of respect, organisations can create an environment where positive interactions flourish while preventing harmful behaviour.
Remember, the goal isn't to eliminate workplace humour but to ensure it contributes positively to the workplace environment without marginalising or harming any team members. When managed effectively, appropriate workplace banter can be a powerful tool for building stronger, more engaged teams.

Considerations for CEO Recruitment
Recruiting the right CEO is essential for the success of any organisation. DNA Recruit excels in this area by providing tailored search strategies and personalised candidate evaluations.
Tailored Search Strategies
Crafting a comprehensive job description is crucial in this process, outlining key responsibilities, required qualifications, and desired attributes. This description helps attract the right candidates and identify key competencies and skills necessary for success.
The integration of advanced technologies such as AI and machine learning further enhances the search process. These technologies allow for precise matching of candidates to organisational needs by analysing data on professional histories, leadership styles, and cultural fit. Predictive analytics play a crucial role in forecasting a candidate's potential success within a company.
Technology&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Benefit
AI&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Precise candidate matching Machine Learning&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Analyses data on leadership style Predictive Analytics&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Forecasts candidate success
Additionally, the rise of remote work has expanded the geographical boundaries of talent pools. Companies can now consider top talent globally, assessing candidates' adaptability to remote work and updating compensation and benefits packages accordingly.
Personalised Candidate Evaluation
This is a critical element of CEO recruitment. Niche agencies screen candidates meticulously to ensure they possess the required skills and competencies. Screening involves checking candidates' reputations through press and social media, and collecting references from their previous colleagues.
Key characteristics and qualities of a successful CEO include the ability to forecast market trends, identify growth opportunities, and develop long-term strategies. A good CEO should also possess industry knowledge, exhibit strong leadership and ethical standards, and demonstrate flexibility in a rapidly changing corporate environment (<a href="https://www.kilpatrickexecutive.com/news/ceo-recruitment-how-to-choose-the-right-ceo-for-your-company/">Kilpatrick Executive</a>).

Strategic Hiring Excellence: Leading CEO Recruitment Solutions 

When it comes to hiring the best event management team, there are several factors to consider. From planning preparation to execution and follow-up, an effective team can make or break an event. Understanding these aspects can aid employers in their decision-making process.
Event Planning Preparation
For major events like galas and fundraisers, planning should ideally commence 3-4 months in advance. This advance timeline allows for thorough preparation, ensuring all foundational aspects are well-organised before focusing on final details.
Key Preparation Points
1. &nbsp; &nbsp;Budget Management:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Creating, managing, and tracking a budget from the outset is crucial. Effective budget management helps avoid overspending, ensuring all expenses such as venue rental, speaker fees, and catering costs are covered. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Employers should look for candidates with strong financial acumen and experience in budget management.
2. &nbsp; &nbsp;Venue Selection:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Securing a suitable venue is a primary task. The team should be proficient in negotiating terms to secure the best deals and locations. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Verification of venue availability and conditions should be completed early in the planning stage.
3. &nbsp; &nbsp;Vendor Coordination:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Coordination with vendors for services such as catering and entertainment is a critical element. The team must maintain an organised vendor list and ensure timely communication.
4. &nbsp; &nbsp;Communication:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Effective communication with stakeholders, which includes clients, vendors, and attendees, is non-negotiable. Clear communication plans should be established at the start of the project.
Event Execution and Follow-Up
The execution phase is where the plans are put into action. An event management team needs to demonstrate efficiency, attention to detail, and swift problem-solving skills to ensure the event runs smoothly.
Execution Phase Activities
1. &nbsp; &nbsp;Final Touches:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;The week leading up to the event is critical for confirming details such as guest lists, seating arrangements, and finalising logistics. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Ensure the team is adept at managing last-minute changes and unforeseen challenges.
2. &nbsp; &nbsp;On-Site Coordination:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;During the event, the team should handle on-site logistics, including registration, guest assistance, and troubleshooting. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;They should also coordinate the setup and breakdown of the event space efficiently.
3. &nbsp; &nbsp;Client Communication:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Keeping the client informed and comfortable throughout the event process is crucial. This involves regular updates and prompt addressing of any client concerns.
Follow-Up Procedures
1. &nbsp; &nbsp;Post-Event Evaluation:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Conducting a post-event evaluation is essential for understanding the event's success and areas for improvement. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Feedback from attendees can provide valuable insights.
2. &nbsp; &nbsp;Budget Reconciliation:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Finalising the budget post-event is necessary to account for any additional expenses or discrepancies. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Employers should ensure the team is capable of precise financial reporting.
3. &nbsp; &nbsp;Thank-You Notes and Follow-Up Communication:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Sending thank-you notes to attendees and vendors post-event can foster positive relationships and pave the way for future collaborations. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Encouraging feedback from all parties involved helps in refining processes for future events.
By adhering to these strategies, employers can make informed decisions when selecting the best event management team.

These strategies will help ensure the successful selection and performance of your event management team, turning your events from good to great.
Essential Event Management Skills
Selecting the best event management team requires a careful evaluation of their skills. The following are essential skills that every event manager should possess to ensure seamless event planning and execution.
Client-Centric Approach
A client-centric approach is crucial for effective event management. Event planners must place clients at the forefront, ensuring their satisfaction throughout the planning process (<a href="https://www.cvent.com/en/blog/events/12-event-planning-skills-you-need-success">Cvent</a>). This involves understanding client needs, preferences, and expectations, and then delivering personalised solutions. An event manager with a strong client-first mindset is more likely to foster long-lasting client relationships and repeat business.
Additionally, good communication forms the backbone of a client-centric approach. Event managers must maintain regular contact with clients, providing timely updates and rapidly responding to any concerns or feedback.&nbsp;
Problem-Solving Abilities
Effective problem-solving abilities are indispensable in event management. Problems can arise unexpectedly during events, and a skilled event manager must identify and resolve these issues swiftly and efficiently. Experience in event planning enhances the ability to anticipate potential problems and develop contingency plans.
Key problem-solving skills include:
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Analytical Thinking: Assessing complicated situations to identify core issues. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Creativity: Generating innovative solutions under pressure. &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;Decision-Making: Choosing the best course of action quickly and confidently.
Employers seeking to hire event managers should inquire about their previous problem-solving experiences and the strategies they employed to address unforeseen challenges.&nbsp;
Negotiation and Budgeting
Negotiation and budgeting are essential skills that every event manager must possess. Effective negotiation is vital for securing favourable contracts with sponsors, venues, and vendors. This skill involves a blend of preparation, tact, and confidence to achieve the best outcomes. In addition to negotiation, strong budgeting skills ensure that events stay within financial constraints while still meeting client expectations. Budgeting involves forecasting and meticulously tracking expenses. Event managers should be proficient in creating detailed budgets and managing resources efficiently.
Skill&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Importance Rating (1-5)

Hiring managers should evaluate candidates' abilities in both negotiation and budgeting through their past experiences and any examples of cost-saving measures they have implemented.
By focusing on these essential skills, employers can ensure they select the best event management team for their needs, leading to successful and memorable events.
Event Management Certifications
When hiring an exceptional event management team, one effective strategy is to look for professionals with industry-recognised certifications. These certifications not only validate a candidate's expertise but also ensure they adhere to industry best practices.
Industry-Recognised Certifications
Several certifications are highly regarded in the event management industry. Each of these certifications aims to standardise practices and elevate the skills of event professionals.
&bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://www.leedsbeckett.ac.uk/courses/events-management-ba/">BA (Hons) Events Management</a> &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://www.falmouth.ac.uk/study/undergraduate/festival-management">Sustainable Festival Management BA</a> &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://www.westminster.ac.uk/tourism-and-events-management-courses">Tourism and Events Management BA</a> &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://www.bournemouth.ac.uk/study/courses/msc-events-management">MSc Events Management</a> &bull; &nbsp; &nbsp;<a href="https://www.mmu.ac.uk/study/postgraduate/course/msc-international-events-management/">MSc International Events Management</a>
It's crucial for employers to understand these certifications and their requirements when aiming to employ the best event management team. Certifications provide a level of assurance about a candidate's expertise and dedication to the industry.&nbsp;

Remote Work Transition
The COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the shift to remote work for many companies. According to a McKinsey Global Survey, 93% of companies had to transition to remote work during the pandemic. This shift has significant implications for PR professionals, who must now navigate a new work environment while maintaining productivity and communication.

Remote work in PR requires strong self-discipline, effective time management, and proficiency in digital communication tools. Platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams have become indispensable for virtual meetings and collaboration. These tools facilitate instant feedback and real-time collaboration, which are crucial for maintaining the dynamic nature of PR work.
Utilizing Technology Solutions
Leveraging technology solutions in PR can significantly enhance operational efficiency and client satisfaction. Technology has redefined how PR professionals manage campaigns, interact with clients, and measure results. The benefits include improved communication, increased security, enhanced productivity, and better compliance with industry standards (<a href="https://www.buchanan.com/benefits-technology-workplace/">Buchanan</a>).
