HR MARKET REVIEW
September accelerated us into the Spring Hiring Season
Sydney’s HR market showed clear momentum in September. Vacancies rose sharply through the month, driven by HR Generalist, ER, and L&D/OD growth, while Reward softened slightly.
Year‑on‑year, the market lifted modestly, but specialist areas surged: Reward up significantly, ER and L&D/OD both rising, and Talent Acquisition recovering. Generalist roles dipped slightly but easily remained the largest category.
Industrial employers dominated overall demand, followed by Retail/Leisure and Professional Services, with steady hiring in Healthcare, Finance, and Tech.
