MARKET OVERVIEW
Our coverage across the Australian market yet again provides unrivalled insight into the white collar professional employment market in all major Australian cities. Each specific area of the report provides a detailed insight into what is actually happen in the market right now. As always, we hope this proves useful, whether you are hiring or considering a move personally.
At the half-year mark hiring levels overall are looking stable to positive. The market was inconsistent through 2011-13, and hiring activity at the executive level froze. Senior candidates were no longer moving unless the role was a 100% fit because they were risk averse. However, last year and in the first half of 2015, we have seen more candidates willing to make a confident career move. Increased movement at the top, ironically, slows down the volume of opportunities in the entry level and mid-level for a period of 3-9 months as senior managers assess and restructure teams. This period is now coming to an end and we expect hiring activity for mid-level and management to pick up in Q4 and the first half of 2016.
New South Wales has returned to its traditional role of “engine room” for the employment market in Australia; we are back to a much more typical economic pattern and the hiring activity in each state is reflecting that. Queensland and Western Australia continue to recalibrate and Victoria has settled down quite significantly after the changes in the automotive and manufacturing sector last year, and is starting to gain momentum. This bodes well for the new financial year and for new job opportunities going forward.
In regards to salary and remuneration, the base inflation around packages in Australia is slowing. In this climate, it is only the professionals doing a fantastic job, driving performance and delivering exceptional results who will be in line for a bonus and other forms of longer term incentives.
Work/life balance and company culture have been key aspects of what drives an Australian employee post-GFC. Attracting and retaining good quality employees is not just about money, it has got to be more than that. The majority of businesses base their head offices in New South Wales and Victoria, so as those markets heat up big organisations have to consider how their attraction methods differ from other organisations across the board. Even when an organisation is not competing for key talent with their direct competitors, they might be competing with other sectors for the best people.
Another key trend is the rise in focus around diversity, inclusion and flexibility in the work environment. The best organisations that Michael Page engages with are offering more on that front than they have ever offered before as a way to retain their best people. This trend is by no means new this year; it is a theme we have seen in the Michael Page Salary & Employment Outlook in the past two to three years. It would be very dangerous for organisations not to review their attraction and retention methods in 2015, if they have not already done so...
We hope you find the report useful.

MARKET OVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ More than ever in 2015, it is critical to review our report at a detailed level to understand the variation by sector in the Australian market. With the mining and resources boom now subsided, 2015 has been a fascinating year in terms of employment opportunities returning to more traditional sectors within the Australian economy. Of particular note, has been the surge in demand for talent across infrastructure, large scale project work and government. ”

KEY INSIGHTS
“ It is interesting that the top attraction and retention method this year will be strong company culture. Because the war for talent is warming up again, organisations are either dusting off their employer value proposition (EVP) or launching a new EVP in order to attract top talent. This means thinking about their brand positioning and the value that they offer employees, which is what strong company culture is all about. There are currently some discrepancies in terms of incentive programmes, but bonuses and flexible aspects of packages may balance out. ”

MARKET OVERVIEW

8 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOKDigital
DIGITAL
Hiring activity in the digital space is strong, particularly in New South Wales and specifically in financial services, insurance and retail, where there has been significant investment in digital teams. Blue-chip, not-for-profit, public sector and SME businesses are all seeing the value of digital and are investing by adding new roles to their structures. The executive job market is stronger in New South Wales and Victoria, due to corporate head offices often being located in Sydney and Melbourne, however, there has been little change in this positive market over the last year and we expect this trend to continue over the next 12 months.
Australia is still catching up to the UK and the US in terms of digital presence, so there is a strong focus on targeting expat communities. Strong competition across businesses, particularly in financial services, to acquire, convert and retain customers, means digital marketing managers with acquisition exposure are in high demand.
Other roles currently required are content specialists and managers and digital product managers. We expect to see a shift in demand towards digital acquisition managers, digital strategy managers and content and social media managers over the next 12 months. Job types that could be awarded above average salary increases due to skills shortages are content, UX, SEO and SEM.
The increase in demand for strong digital content and social managers has not been a coincidence. Companies are becoming more aware of the need to integrate content and social strategies to create better customer engagement and brand awareness. The focus going forward will shift to hiring those candidates who can measure the success of content and social strategies in order to show how it adds value to long-term marketing goals. “Content for content’s sake” is no longer an adequate strategy. Digital content and social media must drive conversions, so candidates in this area should be able to show proven results if they want to be considered for the best opportunities.
“ CONTENT FOR CONTENT’S SAKE IS NO LONGER AN ADEQUATE STRATEGY. “

KEY INSIGHTS
“ Businesses are seeing the need to drive brand awareness through digital channels so overall confidence in digital is strong. Permanent recruitment of digital professionals has increased in the past 12 months and will continue to increase in the next year – the majority of businesses being corporate head offices. Salaries have been slightly higher than last year as businesses compete for highly sought after candidates in a skills short market, particularly in New South Wales and Victoria. Work/life balance continues to be one of the top attraction and retention methods and training and development is on the rise as a retention method. ”

ENGINEERING
Over the last five years the demand for engineers has been volatile, as domestic supply has increased and there have been reduced levels of spending in infrastructure. Demand has further been impacted by the movement of the mining and resources boom from project delivery to operation. This has resulted in significant variation of hiring sentiment by industry, state and discipline.
This year hiring levels within the engineering sector have remained consistent in manufacturing, specifically in consumer goods and dairy, with capital investment remaining steady. Hiring in civil and infrastructure is experiencing geographical variations, with activity being strongest in New South Wales.
Professionals with project management experience are in highest demand as some industries experience increased capital expenditure, particularly in the consumer goods, FMCG and dairy sectors. On the whole there remains volatility in demand for engineers on a regional basis.
While salaries have generally remained stable, some states are experiencing marked reductions in remuneration, specifically in relation to demand. An example of this is the reduction in demand for engineers in Queensland and Western Australia, causing a material impact on remuneration. Meanwhile, demand has remained consistent in New South Wales and Victoria.
Candidates are now moving for increases in salary and are attracted to businesses which are focusing on innovation and growth. In the next 12 months we expect key retention strategies to focus around diversity of experience and career progression; employers with the ability to provide a strong pipeline of diverse project work will be best placed to retain employees in 2015.
“ WE EXPECT KEY RETENTION STRATEGIES TO FOCUS AROUND DIVERSITY OF EXPERIENCE AND CAREER PROGRESSION. “

Hiring activity is better than it was last year but we are still seeing fairly low job flow, however, we expect to see a slow and steady increase month-on-month. The market in New South Wales is the strongest due to a higher proportion of global and international service-based businesses. Global organisations are hiring more and service, consumer and technology-based businesses are typically doing better than those in manufacturing or heavy industry.
In Western Australia and Queensland, the re-balancing from mining to services sectors is in full swing, with newly created finance roles in healthcare, not-for-profit, aged care and state based organisations. Companies within mining and mining services are continuing to maintain tight control on headcount to reduce costs.
Roles in the highest demand are those that focus on business partnering such as:
• Financial planning and analysis specialists • Commercial managers • Group strategy roles
Commercial skills are in high demand, for example people who have lateral finance skills and can interpret finance data and balance sheet data, then make commercial sense out of the numbers and provide that back to the business, so providing insight and effective decision making across sales, product and distribution teams.
There has been a decrease in overseas returnees because some international economies are faring better than Australia, so there has been no need for Australians to return.
The executive job market is stronger than it has been over the last 12 months – businesses are being firmer on moving non-performers and there is a lot more change taking place now across chief executives and managing directors, which often means a change in senior leadership, including finance leadership.
“ SERVICE, CONSUMER AND TECHNOLOGY-BASED BUSINESSES ARE TYPICALLY DOING BETTER THAN THOSE IN MANUFACTURING OR HEAVY INDUSTRY. “

FINANCE OVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ Over the last six months, private equity firms have been more noticeable with activity in acquiring businesses, which shows their confidence in the economy. Due to the nature of current finance teams, people who are true specialists in only one area of accounting are less in demand than people who are able to do both financial accounting and management accounting. The levels of experience in highest demand are mid-level and management because they are the most adaptable; the structure of finance teams now means there are far fewer roles at a very senior level compared with past years. ”

“ Although finance headcount within organisations has decreased over the past decade, it has remained constant for the last 12 months and should remain constant in the coming year. People with business partnering finance skills might be awarded above average increases but most salary increases have remained consistent at 3-5% or more if you make a move. ”

45 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
46 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOKFinancial Services
FINANCIAL SERVICES
Hiring activity is strongest in New South Wales, due to a broader spectrum of employers across institutional banking, retail and consumer banking, insurance and wealth management. There has been a focus in investment banks on KYC (know your customer) to prevent money fraud and illegal activities, so risk and compliance roles are in high demand.
As well as risk and compliance, hiring is strong within financial planning and wealth management, so the job types currently in highest demand are;
• Risk and compliance managers • Financial planners • Paraplanners
Australia has one of the most advanced retirement planning methods in the world, so there is a high demand for financial planners and paraplanners to plan and maximise that wealth within superannuation and other retirement plans, including property.
We are seeing fewer overseas returnees in financial services due to overseas markets performing well in the last 18 months, especially within the UK and Northern Europe, Hong Kong, Mainland China and North America. The executive job market has remained steady, but is stronger in NSW, and should stay constant over the next 12 months, primarily due to a higher proportion of head offices within a broad range of financial institutions based in New South Wales.
Looking forward, we are likely to see an increase in mergers and acquisitions across all industries in Asia Pacific and Australia, which will likely affect some Australian banks’ headcount through either growth or consolidation. However, last year’s free trade deals signed with north Asia might mean greater trade and revenue across all industries, which will have a positive impact on most financial service verticals leading to higher staffing requirements.
We also expect the emphasis on hiring women into financial services to increase over the next 12 months. In the last 18 months we have seen a dramatic rise in businesses placing a bigger focus on gender diversity and 2015 has seen that importance elevated to business critical. This is particularly evident in financial services, which is historically male dominated, especially within the revenue generation and technology verticals, as well as executive leadership.
“ WE HAVE SEEN A DRAMATIC RISE IN BUSINESSES PLACING A BIGGER FOCUS ON GENDER DIVERSITY. “

FINANCIAL SERVICES OVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ The current level of confidence in the sector is average, but seems to be getting better. People with experience in operational risk, credit risk, regulatory management and internal audits are in high demand and within regulatory management people who have direct involvement with ASX, ARPA and ASIC are in demand. Headcount in financial services has decreased over the past 10 years due to offshoring, but over the last 12 months it has remained constant. ”

HOSPITALITY & LEISURE
Overall hiring activity is currently above average, with New South Wales and Victoria experiencing the highest levels of recruitment activity. This should continue to stay strong and we expect to see positive growth across the sector. Confidence has remained fairly high in the hospitality and leisure industry and QSR (quick service restaurants), contract catering and entertainment are the verticals with the strongest hiring activity. Businesses in these verticals are still investing for growth, supported by economic factors such as the federal budget, which has increased consumer confidence.
The junior end of the market has become more competitive and employers are starting to offer higher salaries, or greater upside incentives that we were not seeing two years ago. The executive recruitment market has seen some moderate growth because organisations are changing their leadership, hiring senior talent from different industries to try and bring in fresh ideas – whereas previously they just wanted someone from a similar background or even a competitor.
The main job types we have seen highest demand for are; restaurant managers, as they are difficult to attract and retain; area/food and beverage managers, because turnover is high for these roles and they are difficult to attract and retain; and general managers – international expansion means that existing general managers are heading overseas and opening up positions in Australia.
Leadership skills are in demand for building strong teams, driving sales and ultimately getting great results and people with skills in franchising and strong food and beverage experience are also in demand. Another observation is that international experience is a plus for businesses hiring, but candidates in highest demand are those who have Australian experience as well as international.
Consumer spending in the hospitality and leisure industry is one of the last to drop off in tough economic conditions, so strength of hiring is not affected as drastically as it is in other sectors (e.g. financial services). The economy is expected to grow moderately in the second half of 2015 and going into 2016, so we feel confident that recruitment in hospitality and leisure will remain strong in the next 12 months.
“ LEADERSHIP SKILLS ARE IN DEMAND FOR BUILDING STRONG TEAMS, DRIVING SALES AND ULTIMATELY GETTING GREAT RESULTS. “

HOSPITALITY & LEISURE OVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ When the economy tightens up the hospitality and leisure market keeps relative traction, so the permanent headcount in the hospitality and leisure industry has increased over the past decade and continued to increase moderately over the last 12 months, mainly on the east coast – however, there have been fewer global entries into the marketplace this year. Mid-level experience is the highest in demand currently; anything from large venue to multiple experience, through to group general manager experience. ”

KEY INSIGHTS
“ 18 months ago, candidates preferred benefits such as career development, training etc. but a more recent trend is the demand for a higher salary and a better role. However, there has been a disconnect in what candidates tell us they find important (e.g. more money and a better role) vs. what businesses are doing to attract and retain talent (e.g. work/life balance and increased training). We expect to see some movement in the market as a result of this. ”

There is currently emphasis on HR teams being able to cope with market demands as businesses come out of the tough economic environment they have experienced over the last 12-24 months. There has not been a huge demand for senior talent but the executive job market should start to improve as we see more economic growth because strong HR Leaders are required to drive the people agenda and therefore deliver business growth.
There is a stronger appetite for people at all levels in New South Wales because there has been more investment and government spending. Financial services, building and construction, technology and public sector have been the areas that we have seen hiring activity picking up the most.
During the last 12 months there was a common trend in the contracting space; employers were focusing more on testing candidates’ skills before offering them a permanent role. We expect this trend to continue, but as the economy strengthens we expect to see an increase in permanent recruitment.
We are currently seeing a strong demand for candidates in the following areas:
• HR business partner roles, to add value, grow revenue and manage costs • Learning and development, as companies gear up for growth • Compensation and benefits, because employers recognise the need to be more creative in the way they reward staff
There is always a demand for people with strong industrial relations/employee relations experience and currently there is demand for staff with recruitment skill sets to manage those processes as market conditions start to improve.
“ STRONG HR LEADERS ARE REQUIRED TO DRIVE THE PEOPLE AGENDA AND THEREFORE DELIVER BUSINESS GROWTH. “

“ Bonuses are becoming increasingly more performance driven, so to receive a bonus employees must hit all of their targets. Financial incentives are still very important to people, but it’s also becoming common to want to work in a business or industry that’s growing, i.e. not reducing headcount or cutting costs. Flexible working is becoming a more prevalent attraction and retention method and we are also seeing evidence of more job sharing in HR. ”

LEGAL & COMPLIANCE
PRIVATE PRACTICE LAW FIRMS While growth across the board in private practice is slightly down, in the past 12-18 months we have seen a notable increase in hiring from top tier and mid tier law firms in specific areas. Cost control pressure remains on firms both internally and from clients, however in certain sectors, the majority of firms have now shifted to an expansion agenda with a focus on revenue growth. These sectors are corporate and commercial, mergers and acquisitions, banking and finance, property and construction, information technology and intellectual property.
The most noteworthy trend is the increase in hiring activity in transactional roles. The cause of this has been two fold; firstly partners at top and mid tier firms are reporting a modest increase in M&A, commercial, property, construction and banking transactional activity, which is opening up positions within firms. Secondly, given there hasn’t been a significant amount of opportunity for candidates to move laterally around the market in these areas in the past few years, significant numbers of private practice candidates who have been dissatisfied with their roles are now taking the opportunity to make a move, either laterally to another firm, or in-house. This has caused the candidate “market churn” that typically occurs following a prolonged and sustained stagnant-to-moderate growth period in a particular hiring market.
The most common reason candidates are currently looking to move laterally among firms is lack of career progression clarity, personality issues with partners, looking for a better work/life balance and seeking more interesting and sophisticated work (the latter usually prompting a move to a larger top tier or international firm).
In terms of candidate seniority, the majority of demand has been in the 3-6 year PQE space and at the senior associate level. We are also seeing demand for moves at the partner level, with the most significant challenges being the alignment of goals and values between the new firm and the incoming partner, as well the significant

“ SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF PRIVATE PRACTICE CANDIDATES WHO HAVE BEEN DISSATISFIED WITH THEIR ROLES ARE NOW TAKING THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A MOVE, EITHER LATERALLY TO ANOTHER FIRM, OR IN-HOUSE. “
LEGAL & COMPLIANCEOVERVIEW
challenge for an incoming partner to establish and substantiate precisely which clients will follow them across to the new firm.
Firms remain very selective about candidates that they are willing to consider, for the 3-6 year PQE range usually they will need to come from an analogously well regarded firm. At the senior associate level, often they will be required (in addition to demonstrating the requisite technical skills) to demonstrate strong performance in client development and show that they will be able to assimilate with the new firm’s goals and values. The other side of the coin, is that lawyers who fit the above mentioned profile are seeing demand from multiple potential employers, so there is corresponding pressure on the firms to (in the case of 3-6 year PQE lawyers) establish a genuine point of difference against other firms (the well worn line “great culture” no longer holds currency), a well defined career path and usually an improvement in the expected work/life balance. At the senior associate level, prospective employers need to illustrate a very structured pathway to partnership, with required revenue targets and expected timing set out.
IN-HOUSE In certain industries we are seeing a gradual increase in hiring activity for in-house roles, albeit at a slower pace than their private practice counterparts. There are still several institutions that remain under hiring freezes or are subject to strict hiring constraints in their legal teams and reducing legal costs is still a consideration at the forefront from the board level of most of the ASX listed companies. This is being addressed by hiring mid-level lawyers permanently in-house to take care of more straightforward work that used to be outsourced to private practice lawyers, hiring temporary legal resources (so that the legal team can upscale and downscale very quickly in the event of a regulatory inquiry or major transaction), requesting larger numbers of secondees from their suppliers (this is a major trend and frequently secondees are being supplied at no charge to the client) and utilising legal service outsourcing resources.
We are also seeing an increase in the prevalence of more flexible arrangements for lawyers, such as job sharing and part time job models, as well temporary and fixed term contracts (usually 6-12 months).
In terms of specific sector growth, it is in the financial services sector that we are seeing the most interesting paradox. While generally speaking institutional revenue growth and headcount
79 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
LEGAL & COMPLIANCEOVERVIEW
80 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
growth in revenue generating roles is stagnant-to-moderate, the amount of work that the legal, compliance and risk management teams are being required to do is constantly increasing. A significant portion of this is driven by the heavy amount of ASIC and APRA regulatory activity, as well as activity in respect of international regulatory requirements under Dodd Frank (United States) and EMIR (Europe). In addition to regulatory advisory roles, we are also seeing a slight increase in activity in the M&A and commercial space in financial services institutions.
The other industries in which we are seeing the most significant demand for in-house hires have been in infrastructure, property and construction, information technology, media, energy, superannuation, insurance, private wealth and banking. The demand in the infrastructure, property and construction industries is expected, given the significant number of large infrastructure projects and new property developments in New South Wales and Victoria. The same can be said for information technology, given the ongoing development and growth of the sector’s products and services. Newcomers to the Australian market in the information technology and media industries are also creating new opportunities, although it will likely take several years for legal teams to grow in those businesses. We have also seen some increase from the government sector, especially in New South Wales and Victoria.
We expect to see continued moderate growth in the in-house sector across these areas throughout the 2015-2016 financial year.
COMPLIANCE (FINANCIAL SERVICES) We are seeing steady growth in compliance hires. A significant amount of this growth is in the Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT) and Know Your Client (KYC)/on-boarding roles. We are also seeing an increase in demand for specific product compliance specialists (most notably OTC derivatives specialists), control room and surveillance roles and licensing and regulatory advisory positions. This activity is driven by international regulatory requirements, as well as requirements set forth by ASIC, AUSTRAC and APRA. This demand is spread reasonably evenly between permanent hires, fixed term contracts (usually 6-12 months) and temporary hires.
LEGAL & COMPLIANCEOVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ As a solution to short-term growth and cost reduction issues, employers are requesting larger numbers of secondees and more frequently they are requiring that they be provided at no cost. We expect this trend to increase over the short to medium term as employers look to continually reduce legal costs and firms seek to compete for business and retain/win coveted panel appointments. ”

“ A large number of firms and in-house teams have commented that that the most effective way that they attract talent is their strong company culture.

MANUFACTURING
The past five years have witnessed an Australian manufacturing sector in transition, with the impact of the mining and resources boom, and the consequent strength of the Australian dollar affecting the export market. The sector has also been affected by offshoring of major industrial manufacturers, specifically automotive. There are still some areas of strong hiring sentiment as businesses, in some sectors, are transitioning to technologically advanced production and high value add products.
Hiring activity varies by state, with recruitment levels in Victoria and New South Wales remaining strongest. With continued investment in the dairy, FMCG and biomedical sectors, demand for individuals in these sectors remains steady for both operational leadership roles and technical and development roles including; site management, engineering management and research and development.
Individuals with strong experience in FMCG, biomedical and dairy have experienced increases in salary this year. There has been limited geographical variation in salary over the last 12 months and this is expected to remain consistent in the next 12 months.
Increasing brand awareness coupled with investment in innovation and growth is a key focus for companies looking to attract talented workers. Professionals actively looking for new opportunities will research their preferred companies in order to select employers of choice and are often considering multiple opportunities prior to making their next career move. Organisations, specifically in the FMCG sector, have continued to focus on talent pipeline management.
Innovation and professional development are key retention strategies in the manufacturing industry. Companies that offer development plans and diversity of experience will be in a better position to retain key workers. In what remains to be a volatile market, candidates continue to be attracted to businesses that are focusing on innovation and capital investment.
“ COMPANIES THAT OFFER DEVELOPMENT PLANS AND DIVERSITY OF EXPERIENCE WILL BE IN A BETTER POSITION TO RETAIN KEY WORKERS. “

MARKETING
Strength of hiring activity for marketing roles is currently very strong in New South Wales and Victoria but we are also seeing growth in the other states. Stable conditions mean confidence has increased, but there is some hesitation in Queensland.
In New South Wales and Victoria we are seeing more hiring activity in the services sector, particularly financial services. In Victoria, the FMCG and retail sectors are stable and in the not-for-profit sector we are seeing strong demand for temp roles due to impetus on fundraising. In Western Australia, the market has continued to evolve with increased investment in non-mining industries. We are also seeing newly created marketing roles in not-for-profit, healthcare, infrastructure, insurance and state-based headquartered companies. Additionally, the recent tax cuts for small and medium sized businesses could mean higher levels of recruitment for the remainder of 2015 and going into 2016.
Job types in highest demand (and most likely to receive above average salary increases) are loyalty and acquisition marketing specialists, campaign managers, product managers and insights and analytics roles. Businesses with large databases are now recognising the need to use all the data they have access to, so we should see a continued rise in demand for CRM and insights roles due to a big focus on ROI.
In Victoria we have seen an increase in fixed-term contracts as opposed to permanent hiring, which gives businesses more flexibility. We expect permanent headcount to increase with confidence in the market in New South Wales and Victoria, while Queensland should remain constant.
Executive marketing positions tend to have a longer lifeline than other functions, but we are starting to see an increase in demand for roles in excess of $200k, especially in New South Wales and Victoria as this is obviously where most head office functions are located.
The evolution of mobile devices is one of the factors driving the future of marketing, so digital is playing a big part in this year’s hiring activity. There is also an increased focus on big data, which is driving companies’ strategies for a more personalised approach to marketing. Marketers with strong insights and analytics functions are able to stay ahead of their competitors, allowing them to adapt and become more agile.
“ WE SHOULD SEE A CONTINUED RISE IN DEMAND FOR CRM AND INSIGHTS ROLES – THERE IS A BIG FOCUS ON ROI. “

MARKETING OVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ Many restructures that took place last year have settled down now so there will be gaps that need to be filled – a stable economy means that businesses feel more comfortable in the decisions that they make and also means that marketing budgets should be on the rise again. Salary increases have remained consistent, but increased confidence in the economy means there could be an uplift in bonuses this year in New South Wales and Victoria. ”

116 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOKMining & Resources
MINING & RESOURCES
Mining and resources hiring activity is currently slow; in 2014 we saw the bulk of redundancies coming through the major operators and engineering services companies, however, this has slowed in 2015. There is a focus on the ongoing maintenance as opposed to the construction phase, which is largely over now. We expect to see a move towards temporary recruitment going forward, so permanent hiring will remain stagnant.
People who have operating experience are more likely to be in demand because they can cut maintenance costs and improve operational excellence. We are also seeing the demand for softer skills, such as the ability to work with the business and influence, as well as leadership and communication skills.
The executive job market has remained consistent with last year; there is still a requirement for proven operations and maintenance leaders who are technically strong with good communication skills and can drive a business forward.
The overall mining economy is relatively flat. While there is still demand from Australia’s key trading partners, low commodity prices continue to drive a challenging environment and companies are focusing on productivity.
“ THERE IS A FOCUS ON THE ONGOING MAINTENANCE AS OPPOSED TO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE, WHICH IS LARGELY OVER NOW. “

MINING & RESOURCES OVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ While we don’t expect to see an increase in recruitment levels, we are starting to see some activity in maintenance and improvement. The significant decrease in commodity prices of iron ore and coal have had a negative impact on the miners in Western Australia and the broader market, so hiring has slowed and businesses are mainly hiring only to replace. ”

KEY INSIGHTS
“ The level of experience most in demand is mid-level; most businesses are upskilling at that level to get a better efficiency with fewer people, in particular degree qualified engineers with 8-15 years’ experience such as analysis and improvement engineers and mechanical maintenance engineers.
A current trend for candidates is less of a focus on salary and more about having a meaningful role where they can add value – particularly in an operations capacity. We have seen an increase in businesses offering work/life balance initiatives, mainly flexible working hours and the option to work from home. ”

OIL & GAS
126 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
We are coming to the end of an unprecedented period of capital expenditure and a lot of projects have now been designed, executed and constructed so they are going into operation – this means a significant decrease in the required workforce compared with a few years ago is required at this stage. The main focus now is driving efficiencies and improvements across maintenance and operations, so we don’t expect to see a big increase in hiring.
Job types in demand are across asset management and operations, such as reliability managers, operations managers and maintenance managers, because they are directly tied to saving an organisation money. Efficiency is currently key because of the drop in oil price and many people over the last 12 months were forced to take a pay cut of around 10-20%. In Queensland, the level of experience in most demand is at the lead level, specifically people who have strong technical skills, but also have good communication skills and can manage teams.
The executive job market has shifted in the last 12 months – a lot of expats working in Australia on contracts have been leaving to return home, creating space for local, experienced people to take senior positions. We therefore expect to see an uplift in the executive job market in Queensland in the next 12 months. As the oil price recovers in the maturing operational phase, people with technical knowledge might be headhunted for service providers.
Looking ahead, there will be some cautious optimism; assets are currently undervalued so there is some opportunity from a mergers and acquisitions perspective and there are also some sizeable discoveries such as an estimated +100million barrel discovery off Western Australia recently. However, with current oil prices, many projects will not be viewed as commercially viable.
“ THE MAIN FOCUS NOW IS DRIVING EFFICIENCIES AND IMPROVEMENTS ACROSS MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONS. “
OIL & GAS OVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ Western Australia is ahead of Queensland in terms of hiring trends; we saw some newly created roles 18 months ago and those roles are now in play. In Queensland we expect to see a freeze in hiring for the next 6-12 months but in Western Australia there is a demand for specialists such as people who have downstream operating experience in LNG. This is a new skill set to Australia so people with overseas experience will be at an advantage. Overall there is a greater focus on running a lean operation. ”

PROCUREMENT
132 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
Over the past five years there has been increased recognition of the procurement function across a number of industries. This has started to create more job opportunities for procurement professionals; however, in 2015 hiring activity generally remained steady and has not experienced the volatility in demand from previous years.
Hiring activity has been strongest in both New South Wales and Victoria, with increased demand for interim resources in both states.
Category managers, procurement managers and procurement analysts are in high demand, as procurement teams look to grow experience across the board. Analysts have become key as some companies remain in a cost control mode of operation and strong analyst professionals are able to further identify opportunities to decrease spending. Category managers are being sought after for their specialist skills in key categories, in industries including; financial services and insurance, management consultancy, FMCG and logistics. Demand is expected to continue for these professionals in the next 12 months.
As the procurement function becomes more visible across organisations, professionals with effective stakeholder management skills will be required to communicate progress to various internal departments. Those with advanced business acumen will be in a strong position to take advantage of growth in the sector.
Salaries have remained steady in the procurement sector but professional development opportunities are becoming a key strategy for retaining talented workers, as procurement professionals increasingly look at widening their skill sets across a number of roles and industries.
“ THOSE WITH ADVANCED BUSINESS ACUMEN WILL BE IN A STRONG POSITION TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF GROWTH IN THE SECTOR. “

Hiring activity in the property industry is variable based on geography. Sentiment is highest in New South Wales due to a high level of investment from global corporations as well as local and state government. This is coupled with job opportunities in real estate institutions that are headquartered in New South Wales.
Victoria also continues to experience demand; there is currently significant hiring activity in the real estate sector, with investment in the areas of retail, residential, commercial and industrial property.
While hiring previously has been volatile in the property sector, activity is expected to gain momentum over the next 12 months in line with rising demand for property projects and increasing business confidence.
Overall, hiring activity is currently strongest in the areas of residential apartments, education, healthcare and aviation. This is due to increased investment in construction projects as local companies gain confidence in the wake of improving global business conditions and investment from overseas continues.
Development managers, property and asset managers and project managers are currently in high demand. These professionals are required to drive projects through all stages from feasibility and design, financial investment and project approvals, right through to completion.
Salaries have remained consistent in the last 12 months and we expect the demand for property professionals to remain strong in the next 12 months. With demand being high for experience in the residential development sector, specifically related to high rise apartment developments, we expect salaries in this area to increase directly in relation to demand over the next 12 months.
“ ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO GAIN MOMENTUM OVER THE NEXT 12 MONTHS IN LINE WITH RISING DEMAND FOR PROPERTY PROJECTS. “

RETAIL
145 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
Hiring activity is currently strong in NSW and this is expected to continue over the next 12 months – international expansion and new international retailers coming into the market is causing positive churn. Hiring activity is currently average in Victoria, but expected to pick-up over the next 12 months – stronger economic conditions means consumer spending is being encouraged and retailers should see steady growth.
In New South Wales, hiring is strong in fashion, which is consistent with last year, but there has been a rise in hiring for general merchandise and telecommunications. We are still seeing some restructuring among retail organisations and the prediction is the economy will grow in the coming 12 months, but not significantly. In Victoria, hiring is steady in fashion due to international retail moves and we have seen growth in homeware and furniture. Senior level roles are most likely to be able to negotiate for better remuneration packages – people with strong space planning skills should also be able to command an above average pay increase.
We have seen a decrease in overseas returnees in Melbourne in larger and midsize companies, who were pushing to recruit global talent last year and are now turning to the local market. International expansion and companies looking for a step-change has meant the executive job market has become stronger. This should remain consistent over the next 12 months as the economy sees continued growth.
The dramatic rise of online retail means that instead of relying on customers completing their entire ‘buying journey’ in-store, retailers must focus on offering a great in-store shopping experience as one part of their customers’ journey. It is still common for consumers to research a product on a retailer’s website but visit a store to make the purchase (or the reverse), so retailers should look to integrate what they sell in-store with what is available online. For this reason, skilled people will be required with strong experience in senior multi-site roles across the entire operations mix; fashion, hardware, non-food and even food going into 2016.
Overall, international organisations coming to Australia will be the trend to watch out for – we have seen a continuation of international retailers coming into Australia (or expanding their recent arrival aross the country) throughout 2015 and we expect to see even more high profile names enter the market in the second half of 2015 going into 2016. This will have a direct impact on hiring so we feel confident about the retail job market for the next 12 months.
“ RETAILERS SHOULD LOOK TO INTEGRATE WHAT THEY SELL IN-STORE WITH WHAT IS AVAILABLE ONLINE. “
RETAIL OVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ Job types in highest demand in New South Wales are store managers, area/regional managers and at general manager level for with businesses looking to make a step change. In Victoria, demand is highest for store managers, merchandise planners and visual merchandisers – businesses are now looking for newer skills in merchandising to be more creative about their in-store offering. Space planning is the skill we expect to see in highest demand over the next 12 months, as well as a focus on ecommerce technology and international experience. ”

“ Salaries have increased in line with CPI and many businesses are tightening up on remuneration packages – bonuses are increasingly based on business performance. At the store manager level of the market, there has been an increase on profit share because it is difficult to attract and retain people – there has also been more of a focus on working hours and flexibility, specifically maternity leave and returning back to work. ”

176 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOKSales
SALES
Hiring activity for sales in Australia has shown moderate levels of improvement, with the exception of Victoria which has seen a significant uplift over the past 12 months. The focus for most businesses has been to hire strong business development managers to drive business and expansion, whereas in previous years the focus has been on account managers to manage relationships and retain business. Areas in which we have seen the strongest recruitment levels are healthcare, pharmaceutical, IT and industrial service providers. Consumer goods at the mid-year point were just starting to show positive growth.
Job types in highest demand are:
• Business development managers – to drive new business opportunities
• Category managers – this job type is candidate short due to the niche skill set
• GP reps/HSRs – strong need for medical sales specialists
In Western Australia, the top skill sets in demand are those that can outperform the market and sell in a contested environment, such as strong influencing and communication skills. Similar to Victoria and New South Wales, employers want candidates who can expand into new revenue streams.
The executive job market has remained constant for most states. The exception is Queensland, where it has become weaker due to a drop off in sales roles in the mining, oil and gas industries. In Western Australia there is a higher focus on meaningful roles where an executive level candidate can add value, rather than a focus on salary.
We expect to see further investment in growing headcount over the next 12 months and the demand for account managers to increase again once companies have won business from their front line sales teams. An emerging trend, which can have a negative impact, is to offer a sales role with remuneration and benefits but no commission. Companies believe they can get increased levels of sales with higher customer confidence and trust. It can mean, however, that talented sales people will look to companies who do offer commission for higher overall remuneration and this can be seen as a counter-productive idea.
“ COMPANIES BELIEVE THEY CAN GET INCREASED LEVELS OF SALES WITH HIGHER CUSTOMER CONFIDENCE AND TRUST. “

SALES OVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ Permanent recruitment has increased in Western Australia, with the exception of the mining sector where it has decreased. We have seen a decrease in New South Wales and Queensland but consistency in Victoria. Confidence levels vary by industry but will pick up as the economy improves. Levels of experience in demand vary by state; Queensland and Victoria are mainly focusing on mid-level and management roles, whereas New South Wales and Western Australia have a higher focus on specialists. ”

SUPPLY CHAIN & LOGISTICS
189 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOK
Hiring sentiment over the last five years in the supply chain and logistics sectors has largely been affected by both macroeconomic factors and changes within the manufacturing and retail sectors. These factors, coupled with the ongoing technological advancements within the industry, have led to specific pockets of high demand, particularly in the FMCG, retail and 3PL sectors.
Hiring activity in the supply chain and logistics sector has remained consistent year-on-year. The majority of hiring is occurring in third party logistics (3PL), and the retail and consumer sectors. Much of this can be attributed to the major grocery chains, which are currently focused on innovation, improving efficiencies and developing new value-add channels for customers coupled with steady growth in the dairy and FMCG sectors. There has been increased adoption of third party logistics models as businesses seek to drive innovation to ever increasing networks.
Continued growth of Australia’s ecommerce sector is driving a shift from predominantly B2B to B2C supply chain and logistics procedures. As this trend continues, more businesses will begin to look at driving innovation in their existing supply chain and logistics departments or outsourcing to 3PLs with strong e-fulfillment experience.
Hiring managers are demonstrating little flexibility on key selection criteria when appointing new team members, as organisations are looking to increase efficiencies and require highly skilled professionals to support these changes. Key skills in demand are S&OP (sales and operations planning) and IBP (integrated business planning) leaders.
Salaries have remained consistent in the supply chain and logistics sector, with the most competitive salaries for S&OP and IBP professionals as well as those individuals with experience of large, complex distribution networks. Diversity of experience, professional development and career progression are the key factors in both retention and attraction as remuneration has remained steady.
“ ORGANISATIONS ARE LOOKING TO INCREASE EFFICIENCIES AND REQUIRE HIGHLY SKILLED PROFESSIONALS TO SUPPORT THESE CHANGES. “
SUPPLY CHAIN & LOGISTICSOVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ Confidence is currently moderate in the supply chain and logistics industry and we expect hiring levels to be consistent with the last 12 months. As supply chain and logistics functions have become more sophisticated and innovative, demand for increased headcount has remained steady. ”

194 2015/16 AUSTRALIA SALARY & EMPLOYMENT OUTLOOKTechnology
TECHNOLOGY
We have seen large growth in the health and education sector in the last 3-6 months – there are a lot of good candidates currently looking to make a difference rather than chase the dollar, which has been the traditional view within technology. Contracting has been increasing month-on-month, down to a ‘try before you buy’ mentality from employers and also the lengthy processes to get a permanent headcount approval.
Technology professionals no longer want to work just for the big banks and the large ‘Big Four’ consultancy firms – we have seen some high profile executives leave banking and finance and go into not-for-profit.
Women account for less than a fifth of the 460,000 strong IT workforce in Australia, so we are seeing more and more demand for senior female talent in IT, particularly leadership and project based roles such as project managers and business analysts.
The job types in highest demand currently are:
• Project managers/programme managers/business analysts/PMO analysts/programme directors
• Infrastructure and service delivery – to improve the service delivered to the business
• Cloud and business intelligence – using the cloud can cut costs, but you have to bring people in to project manage and deliver it
Industry developments spurring demand for these job types are mainly from a cloud perspective – it’s a more competitive space now and many options are now more affordable than previously, so people who are Amazon Web Services specialists, for example, can demand a higher salary due to a shortage of candidates in this area.
In regards to executive recruitment, some organisations aren’t replacing like for like anymore – if a CIO resigns, a business will backfill with a head of IT, as opposed to a C level position to save costs, for maintenance rather than strategy and as a result there are a lot of candidates currently sitting within the executive IT space.
“ THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD CANDIDATES CURRENTLY LOOKING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE RATHER THAN CHASE THE DOLLAR. “

TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW
KEY INSIGHTS
“ The states with the highest recruitment volumes are New South Wales and Victoria but there is some uncertainty in the market currently so employers are risk averse and hiring on fixed-term contracts to make sure they’re 100% sure about the people they hire before making them part of their permanent headcount. When businesses start to expand their sales and marketing teams, that’s normally a good sign for technology; we expect to see some growth in the next 6-12 months and overall confidence levels are good. ”
