Mark Smith • October 8, 2017

Despite high levels of uncertainty in some markets, the employment landscape in Australia is exhibiting some good signs, although patchy, across the country. Sydney and Melbourne are the markets driving employment growth and full time employment appears to be on the rise.

During 2016, temporary and part time employment were dominant and although still very important, we are now also seeing an increase in full time employment. The experience at people2people reflects this market, with our permanent recruitment teams listing record numbers of vacancies, whilst our temporary and contract teams have more talent than ever before.

This year’s p2p post has expanded again and we have more detail within our specialisations. Not only do we have salary tables, but we have details on employment within geographies and some very revealing data on gender segregation.

Through our extensive network, database and years of experience, I am delighted to once again present the p2p post as a tool for hiring managers, human resources and recruitment professionals. The post is a dashboard on the Australian employment market and the team and I look forward to sharing and discussing our results with you, personally.

Is your company based in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne or Auckland?
