OneStaff

The latest unemployment figures tell one story.

What we're seeing on the ground tells another.

While Bay of Plenty unemployment has risen to 7.1%, many businesses are still hiring, they're just hiring differently.

Projects are moving forward more cautiously. Employers are scrutinising costs more closely. Permanent hiring decisions are taking longer. But demand hasn't disappeared.

Across infrastructure, logistics, manufacturing and production, businesses still need capable people who can add value from day one.

At OneStaff, we're fortunate to have conversations every day with both employers and job seekers. Those conversations give us a unique perspective on where the market is heading and where opportunities continue to emerge.

Thank you to the Rotorua Daily Post for including our insights on what we're seeing across the region.

If you're interested in where the market is heading and what we're seeing on the ground, read the full article here: https://www.nzherald.co.nz/bay-of-plenty-times/news/bay-of-plenty-records-highest-unemployment-rate-in-new-zealand-national-average-dips/premium/2KJ5HK4K5ZGBDNSTNQ5P2IP53Y/

Because behind every labour market statistic is a business trying to grow and a person looking for their next opportunity.

Your next opportunity might be closer than you think.

We’re hiring nationwide, and there’s a wide range of roles available for people ready for something different.
