I have always stressed, don't jump the ditch unless you have a guaranteed job to start. Many think jumping the ditch to Aussie is a breeze, but trust me (I'm an Aussie) it can be very hard and costly for many. This latest report is very interesting. If you do decide to make the jump, always use a recruitment expert to secure you a position. #recruitment #nzjobs #medicaljobs

👋🏽 Recruiters, who's up for an afternoon of fun and friendly competition for a good cause? You may have heard that Island Recruitment NZ & ZEIL have partnered to create a 7-a-side football tournament for the recruitment industry. It’s taking place this Friday afternoon at Western Springs and all proceeds go towards the amazing charity, Glass Ceiling Arts Collective*. This is where you come in, that is, if you're not already signed up and ready to don your boots, have a great time and play to win on Friday. Do you have everything it takes to bring the 1st Agency Football Tournament trophy home (or have fun doing it), everything that is, except a team? ⚽ 🏆 🏠 While the teams are made up of recruitment agencies there is a space for a team of recruitment professionals (not too dissimilar to the NOC country at the Olympics). If you or some of your team would like to get involved, reach out to Scott Burnett. If not you, please tag or share the details with someone who'd be keen to take part. Scott tells me that if you are really good, you’ll be going straight into the starting 7 for Island Recruitment 😉. Naturally I'll be barracking for a RCSA Australia and New Zealand member team to take home the win! *If you were at a recent Auckland Recruitment Meetup you will have an insight into their impactful mahi of Glass Ceiling Arts Collective - this charity provides a creative outlet to young people with disabilities allowing them to perform in roles and productions they sadly may have not have the chance to, without their support. #braggingrights #recruitmentforthewin #recruiters

🌐 Surge in Cloud Contracting Roles Across the Australian Federal Government 🇦🇺☁️ Exciting times ahead in the Australian federal government space as we see a increase in cloud contracting opportunities after a slower 12 months! The demand for cloud specialist has been fuelled by the government's commitment to digital transformation, cybersecurity, and modernizing service delivery. Here’s why this trend is growing: 1. Digital Transformation Acceleration: With ambitious goals to streamline digital services, agencies are increasingly relying on cloud solutions to improve agility and scalability 2. Focus on Cybersecurity: As cyber threats grow in this country and worldwide, cloud-based security solutions and experts are essential to safeguarding national data and infrastructure. Skilled contractors play a critical role in implementing and managing secure cloud environments. 3. Multi-Cloud & Hybrid Strategies: To enhance flexibility and resilience, federal agencies are adopting multi-cloud and hybrid strategies, creating more opportunities for contractors skilled across platforms like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. 4. Project-Based Growth: The need for rapid deployment and specialised cloud skills on a project basis aligns well with contracting roles, allowing government departments to scale expertise as needed. For IT and cybersecurity professionals, this uptick in cloud contracting roles is a fantastic opportunity to work on impactful projects, leverage cutting-edge technologies, and contribute to the public sector’s modernisation efforts!

🚨 85% of Aussie employees will be “open to new opportunities in 2025” 🚨 This jaw-dropping stat came from last week’s LinkedIn Hire Up conference. So, what does this mean for you? Team Managers: 🧲 “Open to opportunities” does not mean “actively looking.” The best talent may move, but they won’t just drop into your inbox—they need a reason to jump. The best talent still often needs head-hunting. ✅ Focus on retention for your A-players. When did you last benchmark your team’s salaries against the market? If you have a strategy or transformation team, we can help with that. ✅ Understand that many in this 85% might just be “market-curious.” They’re not desperate to leave but are testing the waters to see what’s out there. Candidates: 🌟 It’s going to get competitive. The best roles often go to those who are headhunted. If you’re serious about making a move, get yourself market-ready. 🌱 But is the grass really greener? Before making a leap, think about small wins you could negotiate with your manager to improve your situation—without having to jump ship. 2025 might be a year of big changes—are you ready to make the most of it? #strategyjobs

Female business ownership has increased by 77.4% since 1991. However, despite this progress, the share of female business owners has only climbed from 30.6% to 35.4% over the past 23 years. We’ve just launched Reckon’s Gender Imbalance Small Business Report. We analysed ABS data and surveyed 1,000 Australian small business owners to discover how many small businesses are run by women, the industries they operate in, their earnings, and the challenges they encounter. Here’s what we learned:  💵 37.4% of female business owners do not take a wage or salary, compared to only 30.7% of men, and nearly twice as many men (13.4%) earn over $3,000 weekly, compared to just 7.4% of women. 💪 ‘Financial independence’, ‘following a passion or interest’ and ‘freedom and flexibility’ are the top three reasons for starting a business or side hustle despite gender. 💰 Male business owners have a median salary nearly 1.5 times higher than that of women. Similarly, male business owners earn an average of $89,759, compared to females who earn $48,729. 💼 Only two industries have a higher percentage of female business owners: Health Care and Social Assistance (64.4%) and Education and Training (62.5%). Industries such as Electricity, Gas, Water, and Waste Services are exclusively male-owned. 🎓 Male business owners tend to hold qualifications like a certificate III or IV or an advanced diploma while two in five female business owners hold at least a bachelor’s degree, graduate diploma, or postgraduate degree. 🏖️ ‘Work-life balance’ is the most common business owner struggle, followed by ‘uncertainty and risk’, ‘financial pressure’, ‘time management’ and ‘burnout’.
