Human Resources professionals are warning businesses to be prepared for a possible return to a labour shortage. Trade Me is reporting a “significant” jump in job ads, and recruitment firm Hays says Seek and some newspapers are experiencing the same. Hays NZ MD Jason Walker says “the economy is starting to improve and the rise in job ads suggests confidence is starting to return and employers are starting to hire again especially in Auckland.”

Walker warns employers who delay hiring decisions could be caught in a competitive spiral like the market experienced 15 months ago, which saw businesses vie for the few top candidates in high demand. Trade Me Jobs says there has been a sustained upturn in job ads for about two months. Numbers began to turn down in February and bottomed out in May at 5500 half the listings the site had at its peak last June. Now it has 6500 jobs advertised.
