What Job Seekers Want: Meaningful Work and Competitive Packages

In today’s job market, candidates are increasingly seeking more than just a paycheck—they want work that matters.

The biggest trend we’re seeing is a shift toward roles that offer a sense of purpose, particularly in companies focused on sustainability and other impactful sectors. Job seekers are gravitating toward employers who share their values and offer opportunities to make a difference.

At the same time, with inflation on the rise, salary expectations are climbing.

Companies need to stay competitive, not only with their pay but also with comprehensive benefits packages. These extras, from flexible working arrangements to health and wellness perks, can be the deciding factor for top talent choosing where to work.

In this evolving landscape, companies that prioritise both purpose and competitive compensation will be the ones to attract and retain the best candidates.
