We’ve never seen the employment market this tight before! Candidate availability is at an all-time low and employers are having to rethink how they structure their workforce and maintain their workloads. With skills shortages prevalent in many professions, employers are looking to administrators to assist and shoulder some of this pressure. That’s why now is a great time for administrators to capitalise and gain a huge range of benefits in their working life.
With almost a third of occupations in Australia struggling to find workers, the pressure is on employers to sweeten their employment offering when recruiting. Better wages, more responsibility and more flexible work arrangements are just some of the benefits that administrators can look forward to when job hunting. Those that are willing to learn on the job, are open to upskilling and are happy to sidestep industries are in the best position to reap these rewards.
For example, one of our commercial property clients was recently looking for a commercial property manager but due to candidate shortages, ended up hiring a property administrator as a stop-gap measure. Our recruiter was able to find an administrator that was happy to gain their property management licence and grow quickly in the role. This meant that a higher salary, more favourable employment terms and more flexible working arrangements could be negotiated. In addition, the client offered to pay for the property management course costing about $800. The employer was pleased to keep on top of rising workloads and the candidate was happy to be able to fast-track their career – a win for both parties!
With possibilities opening up, these are some of the employment benefits administrators may be able to access.
- Hybrid job opportunities
- Higher levels of responsibility
- Higher paying salaries and bonuses
- More flexible working conditions
- More favourable terms of employment
- Employers are offering to pay partial or full fees for certificates, courses and other training required to upskill.
