VIDEO: What We Saw in 2019, And What 2020 Looks To Bring

2019, what a year! As we close on the end of an incredible year, we asked General Manager Mike Westbury what trends he saw in 2019, and what 2020 looks to bring.

Watch the video here:


2019 was all about flexible working and additional benefits for both candidates and clients.


While we operated in a candidate short market, clients were still really specific about what skills (which is great as we encourage clients to really know what they want in a candidate!).


This simply meant we really utilised our networks and skills to make that match between client and candidate... after all - this is what we do!


Internally, one eighty expanded to offer professional support recruitment in both temporary and permanent recruitment.


2020 is looking good!


Based on construction projects and general local economy we believe we will see continued steady optimism.



We have been seeing local companies expand into other regional areas; Tauranga, Nelson, Hawkes Bay etc, so regional growth is looking to continue also,


Thank you to our clients and candidates who have partnered with us throughout 2019, have a well deserved break and we look forward to connecting again in 2020.


Thanks,

Mike Westbury
General Manager
