The Queensland market in 2023

Renagi Ingram • March 6, 2023

The Queensland market has experienced a boom post-COVID-19, and this has had a significant impact on talent acquisition. With the state’s economy rapidly recovering, businesses are looking for the best talent to support their growth, and the talent pool in Queensland is becoming increasingly competitive.

One reason for the market’s growth is the state’s diversified economy, which has enabled it to bounce back from the pandemic faster than many other regions. The tourism, agriculture, and construction industries have all been key drivers of growth in Queensland, and this has led to a surge in job opportunities for skilled workers. Additionally, the state’s strong infrastructure and business-friendly environment have attracted new investment and further contributed to the market’s growth.

The benefits to talent acquisition are numerous. Firstly, the increased demand for skilled workers in Queensland means that businesses have access to a wider pool of talent. This allows them to find the best fit for their needs and support their growth in the long term. Secondly, the state’s growing economy has created a more favourable job market for workers, giving them greater bargaining power when it comes to salary and benefits. This has helped to attract interstate candidates and retain the best talent in the region.

Another advantage of the growing Queensland market is the increased competition among businesses to attract top talent. Companies are investing in their people, offering competitive packages and providing opportunities for professional development. This has made the state an attractive destination for skilled workers who are looking for opportunities to advance their careers.

With a growing economy, a competitive talent pool, and an attractive job market, businesses can find the best talent to support their growth. As the market continues to thrive, it is expected to offer even greater benefits to talent acquisition in the future.
