Career coach and Seek spokesperson Leah Lambart has a message for Australian professionals: “It’s a candidate’s job market.”

Recent data from Seek has revealed that the Australian job market is booming. More than 215,000 roles are currently being advertised on Seek – more than at any time in the website’s 25-year history. That’s a 50.7% increase in the number of job ads compared to March 2019, before the pandemic took hold, and a 32.2% increase compared to this time last year.
