Hays Travel ready to go all-in on cruise with bookable website following Cruise.co.uk deal
Dame Irene praised the strength of the group's marketing team and the access it offered to a new customer demographic. In addition, she said she was interested to explore the opportunities for Hays in a central European market. 'We're very interested in the German market," she said. "And one of the best ways to break into new markets is to start with an existing company so the German business is very attractive to us.' She said Hays remained open to further acquisitions in the future, adding: 'I don't necessarily think we are done for this year. If the right proposition that fits into our objectives comes onto the market then we could be interested in it.' However, she admitted any potential acquisitions would be in the UK market as opposed to overseas. 'Once we understand the German market better as a result of this acquisition, there may be a case for that in the future, but not right now.'

Revealed: professionals with the highest salary growth and those in decline
Engineers, lawyers and financial advisors have posted the highest salary growth in Australia. Recruitment firm Hays' Salary Guide for FY25/26 shows that while certain professions are enjoying eye-watering pay rises, other professions face wage stagnation. Hays surveyed more than 12,000 professionals and hiring managers across 1000 roles and 25 sectors. Hays Asia Pacific CEO Matthew Dickason said "it's no longer enough to cite skills shortages." "Unless those shortages are matched with real salary action that aligns with expectations and industry benchmarks, talent will move where the opportunities are." Engineers reported the highest pay satisfaction of all professions. Thirty-eight per cent say they are 'fairly' paid and six per cent say they are overpaid. Accountants and auditors came in next with 33 per cent saying they are 'fairly' paid, and three per cent indicating they are overpaid, according to the report. By contrast, architecture and design professionals were the most dissatisfied with pay conditions. Sixty-one per cent say they plan to change jobs in the next six months, one of the highest potential job shifts in the sector. Trade workers (manual labour) were similarly dissatisfied. They reported a 46 per cent increase in dissatisfaction levels. Sales and marketing professionals experienced a 33 per cent rise in dissatisfaction due mainly to poor work-life balance.

Recruiter Randstad's core profit meets market estimates in Q2
(Reuters) -Dutch recruiter Randstad reported a second-quarter core profit in line with market expectations on Wednesday, citing improvements in some key markets, increased recruitment outsourcing demand and further cost reductions. The world's largest employment agency posted quarterly earnings before interest, taxes and amortization (EBITA), and before one-offs, of 171 million euros ($200.63 million), roughly in line with the average forecast of 170 million from analysts polled by Randstad. Recruiters including Randstad, Adecco and Hays have voiced concerns about the worsening job market driven by an escalating global trade war and economic struggles in major European markets like Germany and France. In the second quarter, the underlying core profits in these markets still faced difficulties, with a narrowing EBITA loss in Germany and an organic earnings decline of 14% in France. Randstad said it expected its gross margin and operating expenses to be slightly lower in the third quarter than in the previous three months. ($1 = 0.8523 euros)

Why Aussie workers are quietly planning to quit - and the real reason should terrify bosses
A new report has delivered a brutal reality check to Aussie employers: most workers are planning to walk. Despite a shaky economy, almost two-thirds of Australians say they're ready to ditch their jobs in the next 12 months, chasing better pay, more flexibility, and actual career progression. The Hays 2025–26 Salary Guide, released Wednesday, surveyed over 12,000 professionals and hiring managers across 25 industries and found a whopping 61 per cent of workers want out. While that's slightly down from last year's shocking 77 per cent, it still signals a looming jobs exodus, with the top reasons being no future in their current roles (45 per cent), low pay (42 per cent), and a mix of unchallenging work, job insecurity, poor management, and lack of work-life balance. 'The data tells a story of paradox and caution,' Hays Asia-Pacific chief executive Matthew Dickason said. Mr Dickason says Aussie workers are no longer satisfied with crumbs and that small pay bumps just aren't cutting it anymore. 'Employees are satisfied enough to stay put for now, yet a significant portion are looking to move elsewhere, wary that small pay increases aren't worth accepting.' While 60 per cent of workers believe they're underpaid, it's not just about the money anymore, and Mr Dickason said Aussie workers want career progression and perks. 'This should tell employers that despite the cost of living, salary is no longer enough - benefits, progression, and purpose matter more than ever.' Those most likely to quit their jobs are professionals aged 40–59 in intermediate or management roles. 'With only marginal increases in permanent hiring intentions, this surge in employee turnover signals a critical moment for employers: take action to retain top talent or risk falling further behind in an already competitive market,' Mr Dickason added. Only 33 per cent of workers actually switched jobs over the past year - but the dissatisfaction is growing, and it's not just workers feeling frustrated. The report also revealed that employers are taking more time to find and hire suitable applicants due to a skills shortage and the impact of artificial intelligence (AI), which has resulted in an increased volume of generic, low-fit applications. This has created a gridlocked system, sparking growing frustration from both employers and workers. 'We are finding employers are reporting more job applications, but fewer suitable candidates,' Mr Dickason said. 'At the same time, job seekers say they're applying more, but getting fewer responses. 'When job seekers rely too heavily on AI to generate applications, quality and legitimacy suffer. Candidates need to carefully review and personalise AI-generated content to ensure it's accurate, relevant, and highlights the human skills employers value most.' He had this advice for Aussies seeking a career change. 'Define what matters most to you: is it salary, relevant benefits, purpose, or progression? Be clear on what you'll walk away with, and what trade-offs you're willing to make,' Mr Dickason said. 'With employers reporting a need for stronger human skills, now is the time to invest in your communication, adaptability, and decision-making. 'While pay is a top motivator, don't overlook the long game: flexibility, culture, and growth opportunities are increasingly becoming deal-breakers. 'Take control of your development, be selective in your applications, and aim to align with organisations that match both your values and ambitions.'
