Growth is growth, right? Well not for us in the employment sector. The figures out today underline how weak and precarious the current Australian economy is. If you take away immigration and inflated Govt. spending, we'd be seeing negative growth and a potential recession. Many businesses across sectors are operating as if we already are, with a lack of desire to add headcount in a stagnant economic landscape. How long Australian consumers and businesses can survive this high interest, low growth environment is the big question for the RBA to answer. Globally we're seeing the lower inflation figures lead to noise and action in lowering of interest rates. How quickly the RBA act is seemingly pivotal to the economic recovery. It's not all doom and gloom, growth is growth after all and the economy is recovering slowly from the boom and bust of the COVID period but what today underlines is the fact that it's not an easy environment to operate in and many hurdles lay ahead of us before sustainable growth returns. #Economy #Recruitment Invested Talent

It's a bit of a desert out there, but in the desert shoots of green are evident. Here are some insights on what the July recruitment market is saying as well as some pointers on your job search in a stagnant market. Invested Talent

One year ago, Matthew Vowles and I opened the doors to Invested Talent, and what a year it has been. With many highs and lows we've learnt so much, grown a lot as individuals and built a successful business to date. Last July when we entered the space it was a different challenge to the years before with the COVID boom behind us. We aimed to build a business that offered more than just quick fire placements and instead focused on how to strategically help clients and candidates by adding long-term value, market insights and intelligence as well as connecting the best talent to the strongest clients from our ever growing networks. A mission we're hopefully succeeding in. When growth is the focus, it's sometimes hard to sit back and reflect, but here are some highlights of FY 23/24: - Placed 38 amazing people in brilliant roles with over 25 clients. - Signed terms with 25+ businesses of varying sizes across financial and professional services, all of which we are proud to partner with. - Given career guidance and hiring advice to 100's of people, with each conversation being meaningful in many ways. - Made many new friends and strengthened friendships of old. - Learnt how hard but rewarding it is to build and run a business. It's true that it's an iceberg, 90% goes completely unseen but every cog is pivotal to the machines success. Whilst successes are tangible, lessons learnt help us shape our future too. Here are some of our key learnings from the year: - Not comparing yourself to others is huge. Your race is your own. - Never expect, always fight and earn respect of clients and candidates. - Not everyone will be your friend, but nobody wants to see you fail. - Consistency is key, even when the tide is against you, keeping on keeping on is imperative. Hard work always trumps luck. - Motivation is a self driven thing, without guts there is no glory. - Running a business is sometimes emotionally and physically draining, but it's absolutely 100% worth it. It goes without saying that we are forever grateful for all of our candidates, clients, partners and network for the opportunity to work with and serve you. Helping people find their next role is profitable (there is no getting away from that), but more than that it is personally fulfilling, genuinely heartwarming to see people succeed and knowing each day will be a new challenge gives us the energy to continue building and assisting everyone wherever we can. Year two has a lot in store for us, we're ambitious, dedicated, and eager to continue our growth journey and can't wait to have you all onboard to join in the continued success of Invested Talent. Here's to 2024/5 and beyond. Adam & Matt.

It's getting a bit chilly out there, so I've defrosted the keyboard to write up an article on the current market and state of play. Enjoy reading! Invested Talent

As most of Australia takes today off and enjoys a long weekend, I thought some light reading on the current market wouldn't go amiss. Invested Talent
