Architects, property managers and salespeople are just three professions that recruiting expert Hays says will be in high demand throughout 2016.
According to the latest Hays Quarterly Report of skills in demand, highly-skilled professionals in IT, accountancy firms, accountancy support, trades and labour and marketing are also among those who will be needed this year.
“The demand for highly-skilled professionals with the right combination of technical skills and cultural fit is high, with several government departments indicating they will move to Geelong in 2016 including the Bureau of Statistics, DHHS and WorkSafe Victoria,” says Hays Geelong regional director Mark De Vink.
“Many industries are busy. Architecture, engineering and property markets are active, IT demands continue to grow, marketing departments are busy, and many employers are increasing their office support head count.
“In addition financial controllers, management accountants, and commercial analysts are sought in the Geelong region as organisations look to ensure strong stewardship and new financial leadership.
“Put all this together and it certainly signals an active job market for those professionals with the skills in demand,” Mark said.
