Latest industry and market insights
Young Australians 'expect to work longer'
The poll had revealed that 89 per cent of Australians believe employers rarely or never hire people near or past retirement age, with a third indicating that people over 65 have virtually no chance of being hired.
New poll: Aussie workers avoid taking sick leave
A new national poll by people2people Recruitment reveals a concerning trend: more Australian workers are coming into work when sick, despite the growing awareness of the importance of staying home when unwell and prioritising health and wellbeing.
Hiring decisions taking way too long
Australian companies are taking three times as long to hire someone as job seekers expect and risk losing top talent in the process, a new report has found. Recruitment firm People2people’s 2025 Workplace & Employment Trends report, found that current hiring processes are taking far too long for workers.
Media coverage: national and international interviews and TV features
In 2024, people2people solidified its position as a leading authority in the recruitment industry, delivering trusted expertise and thought leadership. Our Managing Directors and Leadership Team were featured in over 100 articles, sharing valuable insights on various aspects of recruitment and employment trends.
Additionally, our experts appeared in 50+ radio interviews and TV broadcasts across Australia and New Zealand, providing guidance and perspectives on the ever-changing job market.
