We’re proud of our collaborative approach and business relationships forged over many years. Like many businesses, Hunter Savage has developed over the past twelve months and we’ve expanded our teams, and expertise. In the past year, many parts of the economy have experienced a post-covid hiring boom as companies struggle to meet customer demands, and to retain staff. This surge in recruitment has been accompanied by high inflation in the economy, increasing both the cost of doing business and the cost of living, and consequently altering job seekers’ expectations as they pursue higher remuneration. The current economic trajectory is characterised by robust recruitment activity, with a labour market experiencing near unprecedented low levels of unemployment. Furthermore, skill shortages have been exacerbated by demographic shifts including higher number of retirements in the wake of the pandemic.
