Is your HR platform holding you back? Sticking with a system because it’s familiar might feel safe, but it often comes at a hidden cost—inefficiency, errors, and lost opportunities. Yes, migrating to a better HR platform might seem daunting, but the long-term benefits far outweigh the short-term challenges. Better tools lead to smarter decisions, happier employees, and streamlined processes. And when it comes to migration, data transfer is no longer the hurdle it once was—technology has evolved to make this transition smoother than ever. Don't let the fear of change keep your organisation from thriving! www.workit.com.au #HRTech #DigitalTransformation #Leadership #PeopleManagement #FutureOfWork

Exciting Times Ahead: What the New Government Budget Means for Recruitment With the announcement of the new budget tomorrow, we’re looking at a pivotal moment for the job market here in New Zealand. As a recruiter and manager of recruiters, I’m keen to see how the following areas will shape up: Boosting Economic Growth: Policies aimed at economic growth and business confidence are vital for us now. In short, a thriving economy means more opportunities for everyone. Employment Initiatives: Programs to reduce unemployment and promote upskilling will be game-changers. Investing in our workforce is crucial for meeting the demands of tomorrow. Support for SMEs: Small and medium-sized enterprises are the backbone of our economy. Financial support and incentives for SMEs can spur job creation and innovation. Skilled Migration: Welcoming skilled talent from abroad can help fill critical gaps in our labour market, driving growth and competitiveness. Labour Law Reforms: Balanced reforms that protect workers and encourage hiring are essential. It’s about finding the sweet spot for a dynamic and fair labour market. Technology and Infrastructure: Investments in digital infrastructure and major projects create demand for skilled workers, presenting exciting recruitment opportunities. Welfare and Wellbeing: Supportive programs for income and wellbeing can help maintain a motivated and productive workforce, essential for sustained economic health. This budget is a polarising one for many BUT it also has the potential to set the stage for a robust and resilient job market. I’m hopeful we will be moving forward to a future where both businesses and job seekers thrive! #NZBudget2024 #Recruitment #EconomicGrowth #JobMarket

Last night the Sydney Talent Meetup hosted their first social mixer. It was great to see some familiar faces, and meet some new ones too. A couple of things stood out to me when talking to people. Talent professionals have had a brutal couple of years. Hired just before or at the height of the 2022 hiring boom, put under huge pressure to deliver hiring campaigns in an unsustainable hiring market was tough enough on its own. Unfortunately, once companies realised they’d over hired, or were navigating the talk of impending recession, many companies simply cut their TA teams. As recruiters, we know this comes with the territory, but for something as important as hiring, is this how it’s always going to be? It’s not too far off feeling like a mercenary relationship for some of the people that went through it. “Thanks for completing that mission. Your services are no longer needed”. Two themes came up in conversation, and I predict (or hope at least) they’ll become more common. Firstly, is Fractional Talent Acquisition the answer? Fractional is a relatively new concept in Australia but is gaining momentum. It's big in the US and Europe, but it’s got some way to go here. Jamie Finnegan summed it up last night: “People kept asking me what Fractional do, they think it’s a company”. I believe Fractional work will become much more common in the next 2-5 years. A lot of incredible TA operators got burned badly recently. By operating in a Fractional role, they protect themselves. It may also be a better solution for the company so that they can scale their Talent operations to the demand of hiring. But… we all know the cost of living is brutal at the moment. And try getting a mortgage with a fractional role. Until we can figure that out, it may be a blocker. Secondly, how many TAs and Recruiters could have been cross-trained into a new role and continued to be a great asset to the company? TAs (if they wanted to) could easily be repurposed into CS, Sales or People & Culture roles in my opinion. How many were given the option? I’ve only heard of a few companies doing this, but it should be the default question if redundancies are on the horizon for Talent staff. “Hiring is slowing down, but you’ve been great in Talent. Where else can we use your skills? And if given the choice between being made redundant and repurposing to a new role, which would you prefer?” It’s not going to work every time, the individual may not want to step away from recruiting, and should have the choice. That's fine. But surely ask or explore it. I can’t help feeling a lot of talent has gone to waste these past 24 months.
