Wednesday, March 25, 2015 3:19 am

A broadly positive outlook for the jobs market has emerged from the Q2 2015 Hudson Report: Employment Trends with net intentions to hire remaining strong into the second quarter of the year.

Despite a slight dip from Q1 2015, the Hudson Report shows net hiring intentions remain at their highest level since 2012. According to Hudson, a net 17.1% of employers are looking to increase permanent staffing levels between April and June this year, compared to 18.7 per cent in Q1and well up from just 11.2 per cent one year ago. Moreover, while there has been a fall in sentiment in some locations, the report shows that net hiring intentions are still positive across all states.

“While the official unemployment rate has crept up recently and economic conditions remain challenging, our research reveals a transition in the labour markets, with weaker employment conditions in mining and resourcing offset by more positive conditions in industries such as professional services, IT and financial services,” said Dean Davidson, Executive General Manager, Hudson Australia.
