Hays Press Releases

Discover how Hays is reimagining recruitment by prioritising human skills like adaptability, collaboration, and critical thinking, essential for a fast-changing world.

New research released by Hays, the global leader in specialist recruitment and workforce solutions, reveals how Australia’s position in the global talent landscape is being shaped by a range of workforce and labour market factors.

The Hays IT Contractor Rates Guide FY25/26 reveals a market marked by steady demand, stabilising rates, and the growing influence of artificial intelligence (AI) on workforce dynamics.

Based on a survey of over 12,000 respondents in ANZ across more than 25 industries and 1000 roles, the Salary Guide reveals an ongoing tension between employee expectations and employer offerings, making retention and recruitment more challenging than ever.

A new report from Hays, The Chief People Officer Viewpoint, reveals that 85% of Chief People Officers (CPOs) are actively upskilling as their roles expand beyond traditional HR functions.

The Hays 2025 Skills Report, highlights worsening skills shortages, driven by an ageing population, declining birth rate, changing employment arrangements increasing the need for skilled workers, changing skill needs and inadequate apprenticeship rates.
