CONTENTS

Western Australia, Queensland and the NorthernTerritory are irmly in the express lanes oAustralia’s economy and there is no denying thatthe surging staing needs o organisations involvedin Australia’s resources boom have driven the jobsmarket orward over the past year.

They have also, to some degree, insulated Australia rom

economic woes in the Eurozone and volatility in the world’s

major stock markets. New Zealand’s economy meanwhile

continues to recover rom the Christchurch earthquake and

employers are now more positive in their outlook.

Employers involved in Australia’s resources boom are not the

only ones hiring. Despite a barrage o negative headlines in

the media, the reality is that organisations across Australia

and New Zealand are hiring and specialist proessionals

remain in short supply – both within and outside our mining

and resources industry.

There is also a wide-ranging understanding rom employers in

all industries that to ind and retain the best people remains a

challenge. Oten the candidates that are available do notmatch all the requirements employers have. There is still a

shortage o the right candidates to ill vacancies and

competition or the top talent remains.

For the most part, candidates with skills in demand have more

realistic salary expectations compared to last year. While

some employers will increase salaries, the savvier amongst

them are designing a comprehensive retention and

engagement package that includes not only a realistic salary

but also a development pathway and a range o innovative

beneits to compete or candidates with the unique

combination o skills needed.

The demand or candidates in a broad range o

industries across Australia and New Zealand can be

easily overshadowed by the colossal stang needs

o those involved in Australia’s resources boom. Oursurvey clearly shows that not only are employers

across most industries continuing to register both

permanent and temporary jobs, but or positions in

demand skills shortages have intensied over the past

year in both countries.

According to our survey o employers, skills shortages aremost prominent at the junior to mid management level oroperations sta (up ten per cent year-on-year), ollowedby technical (up ten per cent), accountancy & nance (upour per cent), sales & marketing (up seven per cent) andengineering (up nine per cent). Compared to last year’s

ndings, these skills shortages have clearly become moreintense over the year.

Perhaps that’s why 59 per cent o employers would consideremploying or sponsoring a qualied overseas candidate inskill-short areas.

In terms o vacancy activity, 39 per cent o employersincreased permanent sta levels in their department overthe last 12 months. Over the coming year, 40 per cent expectpermanent sta levels to increase, o which the overwhelmingmajority will be ull-time sta.

Meanwhile 15 per cent o employers said they employtemporary or contract sta on a regular ongoing basis and a

urther 45 per cent said they employ them or special projectsor workloads. Looking ahead, 17 per cent expect their use otemporary and contract sta to increase.

In response, employers are increasing salaries, albeitmoderately. According to our survey, 44 per cent increasedsalaries in their last review less than three per cent, while 46per cent increased between three and six per cent. A lucky 10per cent received increases above six per cent.

It should come as no surprise that the mining and resourcesindustry led the way when it came to salary increases;55 per cent o employers increased salaries between threeand six per cent while a urther 20 per cent increased abovesix per cent.

This was closely ollowed by proessional services, where53 per cent o employers increased salaries between three andsix per cent and 17 per cent increased above six per cent.

Looking ahead, the mining and resources industry has thehighest expectations or uture salaries increases, ollowed byproessional services.

In other key ndings, 84 per cent o workplaces allow orfexible work practices, with part-time employment andfexible working hours or compressed working weeks the mostpopular options, ollowed by fex-place (such as working romhome or alternative location).

Sta turnover increased in 30 per cent o organisations,

indicating that candidates have become more condent aboutseeking new challenges, while business activity increased in60 per cent o organisations and remained steady in a urther22 per cent.

‘A dominant theme over

the past year has beenthe desire to achieve

cost savings, which

is why IT outsourcers

and integrators

need storage andvirtualisation skills.’ 

AUSTRALIAAustralia’s IT sector was not immune to the impact of globaleconomic conditions over the past year, or the continued trend ofoffshoring IT roles. But it also was not deeply affected and wecontinued to see demand for skills and a cautious willingness from

both IT organisations and IT users to continue investing in theirtechnology. The mining sector in particular has had a huge impact asorganisations increase efficiency through better use of IT systems.

Over the last 12 months, we experienced high demand for mostdevelopment skills, ranging from Open Source through to web basedapplication skills including MS.Net, Java, Sharepoint and C++. Thisdemand continues today. Furthermore, as mobile technology continuesto improve, HTML5 and IOS Developers are highly sought after.

A dominant theme over the past year has been the desire to achievecost savings, which is why IT outsourcers and integrators needstorage and virtualisation skills. The telco industry meanwhile needsTelco Engineers with skills in radio frequency. We have also seen amassive demand from the resources industry for highly technicalCommunication Engineers.

Organisations want to remain flexible in their hiring, which is why

Project Managers and Business Analysts have been in continuousdemand. We have also seen a definite increase in demand for projectbased Information Managers.

Cloud technology shifted the way organisations use IT and this ishaving a huge impact on softer skills as IT continues to move fromthe ‘back room’ into the mainstream. Almost every component of abusiness has a touch point on the technology that underpins it. As aresult, business-focused technology professionals will be in highdemand over the coming 12 months.

Given global economic conditions and an increase in contracting, wehave not seen huge upward pressure on IT salaries. Rather,organisations considered other ways of attracting staff, and therewere increased efforts to get employment branding right.

Having said this, our booming resources states of Queensland andWestern Australia did see salary increases, particularly for mid-level MS.

Net Developers. We have also seen slight increases for Java candidatesat both Developer and Team Lead levels. Salary increases in WesternAustralia were also seen for project roles, particularly for BusinessAnalysts at all levels, Systems Analysts and Project Managers.

Another trend has been global mobility. While employers in Australiaare not as comfortable sourcing candidates with the required skillsfrom overseas as employers are in the rest of Asia Pacific, they areslowly becoming more open to this attraction strategy.

We continue to see employers shorten the recruitment process tosecure highly skilled candidates quickly over competitors. In order toattract these skilled candidates, companies are committing totraining and providing honest appraisals of their corporate culture.

In the public sector, major technology upgrades and refreshprograms within government are having a positive impact oncandidate attraction since candidates find the technical aspects of

government more attractive than standard operational support roles.We are seeing a very active contract market with government recruitingcontractors for projects that are in implementation phases. Many publicsector organisations are also attempting to retain their IT IP by securingcontract staff in permanent or long-term contract roles. But manycontractors are resisting this change and will instead look for anotherrole where they can remain employed on a contract basis.

In high demand in the public sector are generalist System Engineers andAdministrators with key technical refresh/upgrade experience.Candidates with design and architecture skills, virtualization skills andthose who hold high level security clearances are also all highly soughtafter. However this is not impacting on salaries, which remain steady.

Looking ahead, over the coming year we expect hiring intentions toremain very positive within IT. Both the public and private sectors arecommitting to improving their systems as they look to provide a better

customer experience, in both the B2B and B2C space. The increasinguse of social networking and mobile apps will continue to createopportunities. Sustainability and green issues will influence the IT spaceas cloud computing continues to take off. Skilled development and

networking professionals will be in high demand in order to seizeopportunities in this space. Overall, the year looks promising.

NEW ZEALANDThe information technology and telecommunications sector is nowback to pre-recession levels of investment. Projects that were on holdduring the downturn have been given the green light resulting inskills shortages across the board. Telecommunications isexperiencing a significant skills shortage due to the Ultra FastBroadband and Rural Fibre Initiative projects. For the first time infour years managerial and leadership experience is in demand ascompanies look to new management teams to drive organisationalchange and new innovative ideas.

Christchurch has had a steady exodus of candidates following theearthquake, and with the increased activity aroundtelecommunications and infrastructure, employers are struggling tofind candidates with the right level of experience, or who are willingto relocate to the area. Wellington continues to be driven by thepublic sector but several key contract wins are seeing more private

sector companies investing in the local market.Candidate demand is being supported by a large influx of overseastalent, sourced from around the globe. Most employers are investingheavily in international recruitment partnerships that improve boththe speed and costs normally associated with this method ofcandidate sourcing. Professional contractors are enjoying consistentlong-term contracts that are intended to supplement permanentskills and also take ownership for individual programmes of work.Most telco employers are actively exploring overseas candidate poolsfor both one-off and bulk recruitment requirements

Key IT shortages exist within the mid-level software developmentsector, particularly around Java, Sharepoint and web basedintegration technology, for ERP/CRM Consultants (MS Dynamics,Oracle) and for experienced Architects across all sectors. There isalso a lack of skilled professionals with a background in middleware,database and storage technologies.

Salaries are beginning to respond to market pressure with employeesexpecting annual increases from their current employer or asignificant positive movement when changing jobs. Top applicantsreceive multiple offers and the frequency of counter offers isincreasing. Employers are realising the value of providing fringebenefits such as insurances, Kiwisaver, additional holiday and flexiblehours to either increase retention levels or attract new employees.Contractor rates are now back to pre-recession levels which isencouraging more people to consider the flexibility of thecontracting market ahead of permanent positions. This is a strongindicator of the confidence that has returned to the sector.
