66% of professionals hoping to move jobs in next three months
Over 66% of professionals around the world are hoping to move jobs in the next three months, according to a recent global poll of more than 8,000 workers conducted by leading international recruitment consultancy Robert Walters.
The poll found that professionals in Australia were most keen to move in the next three months (72% of respondents), followed by Hong Kong (68%), Singapore (68%) and the United Kingdom (67%), with New Zealand coming a close fifth at 66%.
Richard Manthel, Managing Director at Robert Walters New Zealand, says, “These figures indicate that professionals are optimistic about the job market and looking to take advantage of the improved economic conditions seen in many countries, particularly those in the Asia-Pacific region.
“With so many job-seekers looking to move in the next three months, employers are likely to face an increase in staff churn and greater pressure to retain their top talent.”
The poll, conducted over December/January, found that just 6% of respondents weren’t hoping to move jobs in the next 12 months.
