We're deepening the layers of membership in 2022

The market is booming, we are talent short, time poor and knee deep in demand. While conditions have never been quite so ripe for recruitment to prosper, the backdrop of complex compliance law, relentless changes in legislation – not to mention a looming election and the new world of post pandemic working dynamics we are navigating, means yet more layers to the cake that is recruitment.

And so it seems fitting that we are once again deepening the layers of APSCo Membership during 2022, with new committees in Vic, NSW and Qld, a strengthened commitment to driving policy change that matters to our members with the support of our Global Public Policy Director at APSCo HQ and further development of our certified Staffing Professional Program.

As I write this today, Australia hit an unemployment rate of 4% - the lowest since 2008 and the lowest unemployment rate of women since 1974 (at 3.8%). We’ve well and truly hit unchartered waters and the scales of challenges v opportunities seem to be sitting at an even keel, it’s keeping the balance that will prove the greatest test for most.

As we approach Emerge 2022, our second annual conference, I expect our experts and indeed attendees will have much to say about the environment we all find ourselves operating in. Our line up this year is impressive and once again highlights our strength in areas of quality, compliance and operational excellence in recruitment. From the influential to some of recruitments’ household names, every one of our speakers has been deliberately selected to bring genuine thought leadership and value to our audience.

I hope to see you all there!
