The employment market remains an interesting one to watch. Mostly, because it is a great indicator of market sentiment (when things are tough or viewed in a negative light, candidates tend to stick to their current roles to avoid additional risk). And also because it’s interesting to watch businesses respond to the ebbs and troughs of talent supply.
Take the end of last year, for example. Some roles so a 300% increase in job applications - so high volume hiring and getting back to candidates (rather than ghosting them) was all the rage. Fast forward six months, businesses like KPMG and Accenture are in such a tough spot due to the shortage of talent that they’re paying their people 30% more just to try and keep them.
In the tech space, it’s fair to say that it’s all about power to the people. Possibly making it the ideal time to move (in case you were thinking about it). So check out these top jobs from the Sydney Tech scene:
