In Wellington, we are still seeing further cuts by the new Government. There is a focus on cost both from a contractor perspective and an FTE perspective as well, this has had a knock-on effect with contracts not being extended. The budget came and went at the end of May. It will take some time for this to breathe some life into the Wellington recruitment market. There are a large number of contractors looking to get extended post 30 June, we have seen more activity on that following the budget but will be interesting to see where the market is at on the 1st of July with many still outstanding. The focus on cost isn’t just limited to the Public Sector either, we are seeing the same from large non-government businesses. With the market saturated with good candidates we are seeing organisations taking advantage by looking to drop rates and convert to fixed term contracts.
