JUST HOW IS THE EMPLOYMENT FORECAST CHANGING FOR FOR THE 2nd HALF OF 2008?

Despite a gradual decline in online advertising for the first part of 2008 and growing tension in the finance markets. job advertising in general remains strong, with quarter on quarter increases being shown across most many market segments and commitments by many Top 100's to expand further.

From this, we can take a great deal of positives from current employment figures especially across professional, technical and health - each expecting to show the highest level of job increases.

 "a greater focus on cutting employment costs... and employers only hiring those who can be seen as a value-add to the business"

But whilst the employment market remains positive, don't expect an easy ride. With a greater focus on cutting employment costs and consolidation, many employers have firmly set their sights on reducing recruitment spend, developing their own talent pool whilst  only hiring those who can be seen as a value-add to the business.

So what will employers be seeking from potential applicants this year?

●  Higher returns on investment when employing;
●  Identifiable transferable skill sets;
●  Stronger candidate culture fits for the business and team;
●  More competition for sought after roles;
●  Demonstrated ability to be successful; 
●  Competency based skill sets;
●  The potential for longevity within the business;
●  Proven versatility and flexibility.
