Two weeks ago I asked Hiring managers, HR & TA teams of Australia what their hiring activity/plans are as we see out 2024. Options were: 🚀 Doubling down on recruitment efforts in November and December in order to hit the ground running in 2025? ✋️ Holding off until the new year due to concerns about economic uncertainty? 🤔 In two minds ⛔️ In the midst of recruitment freeze, so who knows!? And it's great to see that the majority are still recruiting. This is further evidence that next year will be a year of confidence and growth across multiple sectors 🌱 📈 #recruitment #business #growth

As we step into 2025, I’ve been reflecting on the incredible journey of supporting businesses and candidates through the ever-changing tides of the job market. Recruitment isn’t just about filling roles – it’s about changing lives, building teams, and enabling growth. 2024 threw us some curveballs, like a tighter job market, shifting priorities, and a lot of caffeine-fueled problem-solving! Yet, through it all, I’ve been reminded of the power of resilience, relationships, and results. 💡 For my clients: Thank you for trusting me to find the right talent for your teams. Whether it's been tackling tricky roles or finding unicorn candidates, your belief in Align Recruitment has made all the difference. 💡 For my candidates: You inspire me with your drive and determination. Helping you take the next step in your career journey is a privilege I don’t take lightly. As we embrace 2025, I’m looking forward to: ✅ Supporting more businesses in building the dream teams they need. ✅ Continuing to grow my professional network ✅ Helping professionals find roles that excite and empower them. ✅ Tackling challenges head-on and finding new ways to innovate in recruitment. If you’re facing hiring challenges, planning your next career move, or just want to chat about the evolving job market, my inbox is always open. Let's connect, collaborate, and make 2025 a year of great opportunities and growth. Here’s to another year of making a difference together! 🎉 #Recruitment #TalentAcquisition #Growth2025 #AlignRecruitment #OpportunitiesAhead

The “career progression discussion” needs to be had with an employer prior to searching for a new role. It’s so often just a complete lack of communication within a business. Do employers know who in their team are wanting to develop? “Career progression” doesn’t necessarily mean a promotion or senior role. Training, upskilling, participating in other areas of the business - perhaps events, marketing, a team project. It’s staggering how businesses don’t invest in sales training for their teams. It should be implemented every 6 months. A refresher, boost that realigns the companies message to the market.

The below AFR article highlights a significant trend: more workers are feeling stuck in their jobs due to fewer vacancies and rising living costs. As per the below, professionals are struggling with three major challenges; 1. Staying vs. leaving 2. Reluctant retention 3. Fear-driven performance Research is now showing that individuals in management positions who have had little to no training on leadership are struggling to navigate through this widespread anxiety amongst employees. Improving job satisfaction and boosting morale are vital measures that employers need to prioritise to alleviate the growing rates of workplace burnout.

I had an interesting discussion with a client this week regarding hiring new employees in the month of December. We both agreed that most people will tell you that 'December is slow' and 'no one does any hiring till after Australia Day'. However, we both disagreed, and this is why we believe hiring a new employee or starting a new role in December is a great idea - **Benefits to organisations** 🌐 It allows companies to start the new year with a fully staffed team and also helps minimise hiring distractions in the new year. 🌐 It helps getting prepared for upcoming projects kicking off early in the new year to ensure there is a balance between 'BAU' and Projects. 🌐 December hiring can provide a smoother transition with regards to team bonding and culture, as new employees can be part of year-end events, including the workplace Christmas function! 🌐 Less competition in the market to attract talent, due to the fact that many hiring managers are away on holidays or not running a recruitment process. **Benefits to Candidates** 🛄 Starting in December can be a great opportunity to hit the ground running, with fewer distractions and a quieter time in the office 🛄 A more focused onboarding and quick integration with team and culture alignment, also joining in on end of year celebrations and festivities! 🛄 This timing also positions candidates to start the new year already settled in their roles, setting them up for success. 🛄 Less competition in the market, as there are fewer candidates updating their profiles and looking to make a move. Please comment below if you have any other benefits or thoughts to add here. We have been really busy this quarter and keen to hear how you are finding the recruitment process this time of year!

"What's their stance on Work-Life Balance" is a question I'm always getting asked from candidates looking at making a move. It's pleasing to see that the Industry is keeping up with changing times. The Construction Industry reported that hybrid working as having the most positive effect on productivity at 50%, according to our 2024 PACE Report. Check out the article below to read more about Work-Life Balance in 2024

Australia’s unemployment rate hit 4.1% this week 📉 So, what does that mean and why does it matter? If you’re looking for a job, it might take a bit longer to find the right fit due to the skills mismatch employers are facing. Employers say the biggest hiring issue is finding the right skills rather than just finding workers. The gig economy is softening. While it was booming during the pandemic induced labour shortage, it's a different story now that our population has increased. The overall job market is still tight historically, but we should prepare for potential further job losses. Unemployment is expected to reach 4.5% by mid-2025. Wage growth is slowing down, as reported in this week’s Wage Price Index which could impact your earning potential in the near future. #samuelsdonegan #marketinsights #jobs
