Rob Clark: SEEK Country Manager on the number of job applications far outweighing job ads

Job applications remain at historic highs, far outweighing the number of jobs being advertised.  SEEK's revealed job ads dropped 2% in December and are down 22% on 2023.  While the number of applications per ad also dropped 2%, they remain 32% higher than in 2023.   Country Manager Rob Clark told Ryan Bridge that since June they’ve seen job ads decline by just 1%, but certainly at the start of 2024 they saw a pretty significant decline.  He says the feeling is that we’ve hit the bottom and are bouncing along it, but they’re not seeing a ton of green shoots at the moment.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
