Australia's HR job market: February 2025
2025 has begun on a positive note for Australia, with strong demand for skilled professionals, easing inflation and an interest rate cut, which should help stimulate economic activity. However, challenges remain, including global economic and political uncertainty, cautious household spending, and the unpredictability of an upcoming federal election.
Declining labour productivity is limiting potential wage growth, despite cost-of-
living pressures, while the anticipated productivity gains from generative AI are yet to materialise at scale, with most organisations still in the early adoption stage.
Using data from 6,000+ job listings and job boards, the authoritative February 2025 report delivers actionable intelligence you won't find anywhere else.
