As many of us return to work for the first time in this new decade, our thoughts are still firmly with those affected by the bushfires that have raged Australia most prominently in recent weeks, not least our immensely dedicated and brave firefighters and their families.

APSCo Australia is pleased to announce it will be an integral player at this year's Bullhorn Engage event in Sydney.

Modern-day recruiters face a complex web of challenges – there is the ever-shifting technological landscape and the changing expectations around work, but there are also political and economic concerns to be aware of. According to Bullhorn’s GRID survey, the number one economic and political concern for nearly half (48 percent) of APAC recruiters is ‘uncertainty over the economy and future growth’, closely followed by legislative changes with 39 percent, and restrictions on the use of foreign labour at 31 percent.
