The 10 things I’m seeing in the market so far in 2023..

Yes 2023 has kicked off with a bang and for many the break is becoming no more than a distant memory!???

Here are 10 things I am seeing so far in the MSP space around OZ.

?? In no particular order..

1. The market is as active as ever with loads of MSPs looking for quality talent across the country - so move quickly and decisively when securing talent!

2. Talent is still scarce and it’s a candidates’ market - yes there’s lots of choice but don’t fall into the trap behaving from a place of arrogance/ego..

3. The need for companies to be recruiting proactively is as important as ever before - keep an eye out and engage with talent continuously - when you need them it may be too late!?

4. What worked last year may not work as well this year - sourcing needs a very creative approach. Think outside the box, value/nurture your sourcing partners - whoever they are!

5. The hybrid working model is still very in demand - both companies and talent are seeing the benefits of a mixed home/office arrangement - but a 100% home-based role may lack too many learning, development and collaboration opportunities..

6. Teams/Zoom interviews are here to stay! They are just too efficient..

7. I am seeing MSPs continue to move very fast on the uptake which is great!?

8. Salaries are still holding strong from last year - but be realistic - don’t expect a salary increase of $20k if you move!

9. Text and messaging are still very efficient ways to communicate with talent during the process - but beware and know when to text and when to call!

10. The attention on LinkedIn is ever-growing - hence this post..?

HAPPY HUNTING!

Here’s to a great 2023!
