Market Update - December / January

The market has seen new opportunities in Sydney come down by 34% in the monthly period. The market contraction during the festive period appears consistent with previous years. This is relatively uniform across different categories / role types. You can see the breakdown in the graphic below:

Key point: Although cost-cutting policy remains a challenge within government, our conversations with key personnel within the private sector have been cautiously positive. Hiring restrictions toward the end of 2023 have yielded a backlog of roles to be filled. The timing of policy easing is key to unlocking the market in 2024. 

Feel free to reach out for more detailed insights on any particular roles, or to discuss the market. 

As always, we are here and eager to assist with your upcoming staffing opportunities.
