Here’s a few quick insights:
- The local job market remains resilient, with 78% of Newcastle and Hunter-based businesses expecting to increase their workforce in 2023
- Salaries are expected to rise in 2023 with 60% of companies reporting they will increase salaries at the same rate as in 2022
- There are, however, signs of a cooling job market as rising interest rates and chronically high inflation impact business growth and confidence
- With this recalibration we are seeing job application rates increase and more candidate mobility in some industries, a welcome change for many organisations struggling with candidate shortages
- Despite this, candidate shortages will be sustained across technology, engineering and construction sectors, where demand is still high
- Remote work options are on the rise with 40% of companies expecting to engage fully remote employees in 2023 removing some of the geographical barriers to landing your ideal candidate
