Employment Market Predictions for 2025 - Supply Chain Market Melbourne
In 2024, Melbourne's supply chain job market has stabilised somewhat, though we're now seeing signs of a gradual slowdown. After years of significant shifts—including lockdowns, mass redundancies, extreme talent shortages, and rapid rebounds—the market has entered a more cautious phase. As we approach 2025, here's what we can expect and some strategies to help you secure the right role in the supply chain sector:Key Predictions for the 2025 Supply Chain Job Market in Melbourne:Conservative Hiring Approaches: Organisations are likely to maintain conservative hiring practices, particularly for mid-level and senior management roles. We're seeing a trend towards streamlined management layers, with larger companies favouring smaller, versatile teams that deliver real impact. According to Jobs and Skills Australia's Labour Market Update, employment growth has remained strong, driven by population growth, but there are signs of softening in Australia's labour market.Jobs and Skills AustraliaExtended Job Search Timelines: For candidates aiming to find the right fit, the recruitment process is likely to be longer than usual. This cautious approach gives organisations time to carefully select candidates who align with their culture and long-term objectives. The Labour Market Update also highlights persistent low fill rates for roles requiring Certificate III/IV qualifications, indicating a more selective hiring process.Jobs and Skills AustraliaIncreased Demand for Temporary and Contract Roles: Flexibility remains a high priority for many businesses, so expect contract and temporary roles to become even more common. This approach allows companies to address current demands while staying agile as the market evolves. The Australian Industrial & Logistics Vacancy Report notes a rise in vacancy rates across most cities as demand normalises, suggesting a shift towards more flexible staffing solutions.CBRE AustraliaStrategies for Securing the Right Role in 2025:Plan Ahead: Start by clarifying the type of role you're after. Update your CV, and begin networking with industry professionals and recruiters early. Building these connections puts you in the best position to secure your ideal role when opportunities arise.Maximise Current Opportunities: Before looking externally, consider whether there's room for growth within your current organisation. Expanding your responsibilities or transitioning into new internal roles can sometimes lead to better long-term opportunities.Leverage Peak Hiring Periods: In Melbourne, the most active hiring periods typically occur:February-March: The start of the year often brings the highest turnover, creating a surge of new job openings.Mid-Year (End of Financial Year): Many organisations review budgets and workforce needs at the end of the financial year, which can lead to additional hiring.Melbourne's supply chain sector is expected to stay competitive, so taking a proactive, adaptable, and well-prepared approach will be essential to securing the right role in 2025.In conclusion, Melbourne’s supply chain job market is shifting towards a more cautious, flexible approach as we head into 2025. With conservative hiring practices and an increased demand for temporary roles, preparing for an extended search and proactively planning your career path will be essential. Whether through leveraging peak hiring periods, maximising growth within your current role, or staying open to flexible opportunities, a well-thought-out strategy will help you stand out in a competitive field. By aligning your efforts with these market trends, you’ll be better equipped to secure a role that not only meets your professional aspirations but also positions you for future growth.TestimonialsSearch JobsAsk A Question

Career Planning for 2024
As 2024 fast approaches it is important to take time to review your career planning to ensure continued personal and professional growth. The new year is a great time to consider a career change as the volume of role opportunities peaks in the Jan-Feb period every year. Why would you consider a career change? Not aligned with your current role/team/manager or the overall organisation you work for. Many people experience this at least once in their career and often, multiple times. If you are working in a role that you are not enjoying and/or you don't feel there is any long term future, this might be a good time to review where you would like to be in 2024Need for increased salary - with the costs of living pressures we have found many candidates have been forced to look for another role (despite enjoying their current role) due to the financial pressures that are increases currently in AustraliaSeeking the next step in your career - It might be time to look for the next role that will provide the career growth you are looking for. Your situation might be any or all of the above. If that is you, then it is imperative that you review your current situation and make a plan for your career. Many people leave it too late, reaching a tipping point and then frantically apply for roles hoping to secure a new one straight away, rather than having the time to look for the right roles. With this rush in wanting to find a new role, many miss understanding what they should be looking for, and asking the right questions to ensure the role is right for them. This often leads to accepting the wrong role. How to review and plan your career? Here are practical steps you can undertake to solidify your plans for the year ahead. The main areas you should review are:Your current role - what you like and don't like about: 1. Your role2. Company 3. Team4. Manager What are your main drivers for leaving?Salary increasecareer progressionSeeking a better cultural fit More flexibility/family friendly environment Better formal development opportunities Self-Assessment: Evaluate your current skills, strengths, weaknesses, and career goals. What do you want from your career? Reflect on what you’ve achieved so far and where you want to be in 2024. Identify areas where you need to acquire new skills or enhance existing ones, particularly if you’re wanting to take the next step up in your career. To stay competitive and build on your skills, consider taking courses or certifications.Given the above, what will be your highest priority areas when considering opportunities? Knowing this will help you understand where to make your job seeking efforts. For example if formal learning and development is your highest priority then you should be applying for larger companies that have well documented formal L&D opportunities. From experience we see that candidates who are clear on what their objectives are, are more successful in obtaining a new role in an area of their choosing. This is because they put their job application time and efforts only into roles that align with what they are looking for. Furthermore when they are in hiring processes they stand out more because they are more engaged and because they know that the role is definitely one that they want. When you do receive a job offer, it's important to further review the offer thoroughly to make sure it’s the right next step for you. Don’t feel you have to say ‘yes’ to the first offer you receive if it doesn’t feel 100% right. Some questions to ask yourself are - is this role helping me achieve my career goals? Does it fulfil my highest priorities and reasons for searching for a new role? Is it providing the salary and benefits I am looking for? Is the working environment right for me?Reviewing and planning your career prior to 2024 will help you make strategic decisions towards achieving your career success and goals.Remember, the Reimagine Talent team are always here to help, so please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

How to respond to recruiters Inmail on LinkedIn (Career advice)
Recruiters, Talent Acquisition teams and even hiring managers often use LinkedIn to find potential candidates. There are two main reasons they might reach out to you about a role - your profile is set to “Open to work”, or your skills and experience you have listed in your LinkedIn profile suggest you may be a suitable match for a role.Regardless of whether you are actively looking for a role, open to considering opportunities, or happy in your current role, it is important to answer honestly and directly. First impressions are key. According to LinkedIn, when you open the Inmail from a recruiter you can respond with:A custom messageA smart reply (Yes, interested, or No thanks) paired with an optional custom responseWhichever you choose to use, we suggest including a custom response starting with “Thank you for reaching out with the opportunity”. From here you can welcome further discussion via email or phone call, or you can ask for more details or any further questions.Why should you reply to all InMails (even if you are not looking for a new role)?It is important to be responsive to InMails (that are relevant to your experience/level of course) because;If you are not interested in the role it is an opportunity to lay a good foundation and connect with recruiters for when you are planning your next career transitionIt helps you stand out. Not many people send a well crafted reply, so it is an easy way to stand out, whether you are interested in the role or if you will be looking for a new role in the futureIt says a lot about you. Most people reply with one or two words or a sentence, but very few reply with a well thought out response. This is achievable to do if you are only replying to the InMail's regarding roles that are clearly relevant to you and provide enough information, showing that the sending recruiter has done some research to appropriately select you for their list.This is a good example of how to reply to an InMail where the candidate is not interested in the role they were sent:How to respond if you are not interested in the roleRather than ignore the recruiter, thank them for connecting about the opportunity and suggest either you will contact them if your circumstances change, or that they are welcome to check back with you in future. For example:“Thank you for reaching out with the opportunity. Whilst the role sounds interesting, I am happy in my current role. However, I will certainly contact you in future if I want to make a change.”Perhaps you are open to looking at new roles but this one wasn’t right for you. In this scenario you could respond:“Thank you for reaching out with the opportunity. This role isn’t quite right for me but I am interested in…(share details of the role type, company, industry and any other relevant information). Here’s my updated CV. I welcome the opportunity to discuss my skills and experience further for any other roles you have available now or in the future.”How to respond if you are interested in the roleRespond to the recruiter as promptly as possible if you are interested in the role. You can ask to speak via phone for further discussions, or you could reply asking for the job description or further details about the role and/or company. For example:“Thank you for reaching out with the great opportunity. I’m interested in the [job title] role with [company name] and interested in [hearing more about the opportunity, learning more details about the role and next steps in applying for the role. I’d love to know what [company name] are specifically looking for in this role and why you thought I’d be a good fit. I’m open to having a phone conversation with you to discuss this opportunity further and can be contacted on [mobile number]. Thank you, [your name]How to respond to a LinkedIn message from a recruiter professionally: Be sure to open every message you receive to see if the opportunity is right for you. If it’s not, decline in a professional manner but ask them to keep you in mind for other opportunities. If you’re interested, let the recruiter know you’re open to further discussions.
