There’s a lot of exciting new jobs out there, but ‘hesitancy’ seems to be holding many people back.

Many companies are in a desperate race to recruit staff and it’s a great time to be looking for your next role. But thanks to “candidate sentiment and hesitancy to change roles” employees are not capitalising on the opportunity created by low unemployment and a skills shortage, according to Australia’s largest online employment classified group, Seek.

If you are waiting until your ‘end of year’ review to discuss promotion targets, development or pay rises, then don’t. Now is the best time to do it. Showcasing your knowledge of the external market and your in-demand skills strengthens those conversations. You’ll have a greater understanding of your career path (and timeline) at your current company, which will help you decide whether to stay or to start searching for a new job. You can always reach out to the Haylo People team to provide market insights to help inform those conversations with your leader
