Australia – Hays publishes list of most in-demand skills for H1 2019, recruitment to remain upbeat

Digital project managers, finance business partners and data scientists are a few of the jobs that make the list of the top skill shortfalls for the first half of 2019, according to international recruitment firm Hays.

In its latest Hays Jobs Report, covering the six months from January to June 2019, Hays reveals the skills that are in greatest demand in 31 sectors and industries.

The report, which is updated twice a year to reflect changing market conditions, also earmarks risk and compliance, civil construction and data analysis as core areas of demand for the period ended June 2019.

“Recruitment activity will remain buoyant during the first half of the year, especially for highly-skilled professionals who perform non-routine tasks that are not subject to automation,” Nick Deligiannis, Managing Director of Hays in Australia & New Zealand, said.

“With several major infrastructure projects underway or soon to commence across the country, the resurgence of the resources industry, technological transformations and a widening talent mismatch, the demand for skilled professionals is expected to rise even further over the coming six months,” Deligiannis said.

Skills in demand for the six months ahead include skills in such industries as: Accountancy and Finance, Information Technology, Banking, Marketing and Digital, Construction, Office Support and more.
