Temp & Perm Office Recruitment – Market Commentary July 2015

​In the​ past three months we’ve experienced ​an enormous increase in temporary and permanent ​office ​staffing requirements. The demand for ​customer service staff and ​bookkeepers ​is particularly strong and it’s great to see employers ​showing a willingness to ​provide​ flexible hours.

​A high percentage of​ roles have ​been starting on a temporary ​basis ​with the view to converting​ to permanency three to six months down the track. Additionally, ​there has been​ a healthy resurgence in ​demand ​for mature age staff who bring with them strong experience and reliability.

Salary ranges do not appear to have ​moved, with the temp hourly rates​ still hovering between $25 and $35. Permanent ​salaries​ have​ also maintained ​the status quo at around $45K and $75K ​P.A​.

Overall it has been a very healthy, positive start to the ​second half​ of the year.
