Hot jobs this quarter

Payroll Professionals and Trade Workers are among the candidates in demand this quarter, according to the Hays Quarterly Hotspots.

According to the latest Quarterly Hotspots, out now and covering April to June 2013, pockets of shortages for specific skills remain in a number of sectors including accountancy and finance industry, especially Payroll Managers, Senior Payroll Consultants and Payroll Officers.
“There is a lack of new candidate entries to the market and turnover continues due to retirement and movement overseas. The demand for payroll positions has remained relatively constant and as a result there is an increasing demand for skilled and experienced payroll individuals,” says Jason Walker, Managing Director of Hays in New Zealand.

There are also clear shortages occurring in the trades and labour due to the continuing work on the Christchurch rebuild in particular.

“As the Christchurch residential repair and rebuild program gathers pace, the demand for Carpenters, Painters, Plasterers, Tilers and Scaffolders is increasing,” says Jason.
“The number of staff required on site at any one time has been impacted due to the majority of the work being smaller projects spread across multiple sites. This will continue to be an area of high demand as new build and commercial work commences.”

According to the Hays Quarterly Report for April to June 2013, demand is highest for the following skilled professionals:
