Australia's HR job market: May 2025

The Next Step's latest HR Job Opportunities Index reveals Australia's HR recruitment landscape is beginning to stabilise after a significant correction, with the market now hovering around fairly typical levels of advertised opportunities – a reassuring sign given the economic and geopolitical uncertainty shadowing the business landscape.

The Index, which covers the period to April 2025, shows that while People & Culture vacancies have declined 19.2% year-on-year, this has eased to just -1.7% in the most recent quarter – indicating the market correction is slowing as hiring conditions normalise.

Using data from 6,000+ job listings and job boards, the authoritative May 2025 report delivers actionable intelligence you won't find anywhere else.
