As organizations mold their businesses to meet the market, the hiring intentions are increasing, shows Hudson Report.
The Hudson Report of this quarter: Employment Trends, reveals a growth in hiring intentions among organizations in Australia with 23.4% planning to hire more staff in the coming quarter, a rise of 2.5% points (pp). Since the 3rd Quarter of 2010, this is the first improvement in hiring intentions in Australia.
Employers expecting to maintain present headcount prevailed at 65.4% while intentions to reduce headcount decreased 2.6pp to 11.2%.
The EGM of Hudson Recruitment Australia, Dean Davidson said that employers are cautiously optimistic, which is seen in the rising employment expectations. However, Australian organizations are maintaining their focus on re-skilling their workforces and business transformation to run effectively in the present strict economic environment, and this is boosting the demand for talent.
Some critical state-specific industry fluctuations were disclosed after taking a look at the individual states and territories of Australia. The Key findings included:
South Australia
Queensland
Western Australia
New South Wales
Australian Capital Territory
Victoria
Of all the industries, Professional Services have the highest positive hiring intention in Australia, which has increased 6.6pp to 37.7%, followed by IT, down 0.4pp to 35.6%.
Davidson said that it is reassuring to see progress in the overall hiring outlook, and particularly for Queensland and Victoria, which have seen the highest improvements.
He added that technology innovation is the key to business conversion, so it is no surprise that IT is a profession that regularly tops the results tables. Business architects, project managers, people who have specialist security skills or who develop web-based technologies are in high demand.
