EMPLOYMENT TRENDS

There has never been a better time for candidates to enter the job market.

1The retail market is stating that the candidate market is short, which enables the best candidates to negotiate higher pay and be selective when choosing where they would like to work.

2Candidates entering the job market are seeking career progression.

3Candidates are interviewing for multiple roles and reviewing offers while being able to have the flexibility of being in organisation with great culture and growth potential.

4For temporary roles, employers are more open to candidates who lack experience as they can still perform the role and have the necessary technical skills.
