The ANZ recruitment market is experiencing some real joy in 2021 with the recent release of JobAdder\u2019s global report<\/a>, revealing a bunch of eye-popping first quarter figures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ANZ industry is clearly picking up the pace with big increases in new jobs created and an amazing recruitment recovery post-COVID-19. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To chat about these results, Martin Herbst (our fearless leader and CEO) appeared on ticker NEWS (check out the video at the end of this blog), where he shared some stats and explained how the ANZ recruitment sector has bounced back so well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pulling insights<\/a> from the JobAdder platform, he revealed that the Australian market saw a 29% increase in new jobs in Q1 2021, compared to Q4 2020 where there was only a 3% boost in new jobs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As usual, the New Zealand market couldn\u2019t help beating the Aussies and saw a staggering 47% increase in new jobs in Q1, compared to Q4 where they only had a 1.8% jump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This influx of  jobs means that the new challenge for many ANZ recruiters is sourcing quality candidates in increasingly tight talent pools due to closed borders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, it\u2019s great to see that Q1 2021 results compare favourably to pre-COVID-19 numbers in Q1 2020. On ticker NEWS, Martin said: \u201cIf you look at the year over year numbers, because if you think about Q1 [2021] versus Q1 of 2020, that’s a pre-COVID-19 market and even those numbers are quite impressive. So, we saw in Australia again, the overall jobs created jumped 21% and then in New Zealand [they jumped] 39%.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that: \u201cI think the economy is back. We’ve got companies who are much more confident coming out of COVID-19 right. There are a few reasons for that confidence. We’ve got a vaccine rollout that’s underway at the moment. We’ve proven that we can successfully work through the pandemic. We locked down and succeeded beyond our expectations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at the free report<\/a> for yourself for more insights, but here\u2019s a breakdown of a few key stats that show things are seriously looking up for the ANZ recruitment sector:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(So, once the new jobs are created in the JobAdder platform, how many are actually leading to a placement\/hire?)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
