Market Response and Growth: Over the past year, peoplefusion’s temp team has navigated an evolving and reactive market, responding swiftly to shifting client needs and legislative changes. This agility has contributed to a sharp rise in temp-to-perm conversions, one of our highest in recent years, driven by the strong calibre of talent and clients’ desire to retain top performers.
New Business and Team Momentum: We welcomed new business through Google searches, referrals, and word-of-mouth, with placements spanning all four pillars and notable growth in the Community sector. Temp candidates continue to prioritise flexibility and variety, while internally, our team has thrived, driven by strong collaboration and sustained momentum.
Legislative Change and Looking Ahead: Recent legislative updates, such as “Same work, same pay” “casual conversion” pathways and right to disconnect”, have added both complexity and opportunity. As we look ahead, client needs continue to shift, making it difficult to predict demand with certainty. That’s why our key focus for the year ahead is to stay curious, re-engage with our clients, and actively explore what both clients and candidates are seeking, whether it’s talent, opportunity, or a fresh approach to workforce planning.
