Rob Clark: SEEK Country Manager on SEEK's February report

The latest SEEK Employment Report for February shows job ads rose 1 percent month-on-month, and are 15 percent higher compared to February 2019. Job ads decreased in Hawke's Bay, Manawatu, and Southland, remained steady in Auckland, Wellington and Waikato, and increased in all other regions. Country manager Rob Clark says candidate activity fell for the first time in a year, with applications per job ad dropping 7 percent in January. He says the good news is that a bit of the heat has come out of the market since the vacancy peaks of last year. Clark says there are still plenty of opportunities open for candidates and businesses are increasingly seeing application levels rise. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
