Reduced recruitment and redundancies were linked to increases in candidate availability, according to the latest KPMG and REC, UK Report on Jobs: South of England survey, compiled by S&P Global.
The number of permanent jobs in the region fell for the 22nd month in a row during May, while demand for temporary staff also dropped.
Recruiters said the drop in hiring was linked to weaker market confidence, concerns over costs and recruitment freezes.
