Despite a slow rollout of Covid-19 vaccines and uncertainty surrounding travel regulations and border crossings, travel is still expected to return to meaningful volumes this year, and agency owners have been advised by some consortia heads to staff up to meet the projected pent-up demand.
But hiring today is still sporadic, although some owners are considering upping the hours of existing staff members. They are also considering the factors that will nudge them to put out "now hiring" signs later this year, and all signals point to a large talent pool from which they will be able to draw.
