We’ve got some good news for you.
Have you heard the latest news surrounding the current recruitment economy? You may have heard the term ‘candidate market’ being thrown around. But what does this mean for you, as a job seeker?
It refers to the ratio of jobs available versus applicants. A candidate-driven market means that jobs advertised are at an all-time high while the attraction from the candidate remains low. The implication of this market means that you are in the driver’s seat in terms of opportunities.
It’s a good position to be in as a jobseeker because it means candidates have a greater choice with access to more competitive salaries and leverage on negotiation for perks like flexitime, career development support and other benefits that are important to you.
Considering this, we’ve compiled a list of three top companies hiring in February. If you’re on the hunt for that new opportunity but often talk yourself out of even applying because you believe the competition to be so threatening, maybe it’s time to think again.
