Western Australia’s resources sector continues to set the pace, maintaining record employment levels in 2025 with more than 136,000 onsite mining jobs supported by another strong year of investment, exploration and commodity production.

Beyond the headline figures, the data reinforces the ongoing demand for talent across the resources sector. With exploration spending reaching record highs and mining and petroleum investment climbing to a decade high, the pipeline of activity remains strong across Western Australia.

For candidates, it is another reminder of the scale and resilience of the WA market. As projects continue to advance and investment flows into the sector, opportunities across mining, engineering, operations and support functions are expected to remain a key focus.

Entry-level hiring is changing, and the conversation is more nuanced than AI alone.

A new study suggests that while AI is part of the discussion, remote and hybrid work patterns may also be influencing opportunities for graduates and early-career talent.

Researchers found that once changes in workplace models were taken into account, the link between AI and declining junior hiring became less clear.

For employers, this raises an important question: if early-career talent develops through observation, mentoring and day-to-day collaboration, how can organisations create those learning opportunities in more distributed workplaces?

For candidates, the message is encouraging. Entry-level roles have not disappeared, but expectations are evolving. Employers are looking for graduates who can contribute early, adapt to new ways of working and keep building skills from day one.

A thought-provoking read that adds another dimension to the conversation around AI, hiring and the future workforce.

Australia’s employment services system is heading for its biggest overhaul in decades, with the federal government moving away from a “one size fits all” model toward more tailored support for jobseekers. The proposed reforms aim to better match people with the level of support, training and guidance needed based on their distance from the labour market.

We are already starting to see parts of this shift reflected across the market and among our clients. Hiring conversations are becoming more focused on practical capability, long term fit and individual strengths rather than broad hiring approaches alone.

As the framework develops, it will be important to watch how these reforms influence workforce participation, hiring pathways and the way employers engage with emerging talent across Australia.

Malaysia’s labour market continues to show resilience, with total jobs rising to 9.23 million in Q1 2026 and a national fill rate at 97%.

But beneath the headline growth, there are signs the market is becoming more selective. Semi-skilled roles continue to dominate demand, manufacturing still holds the largest share of vacancies, and newly created jobs have started to soften.

It points to a market that is still active, although increasingly focused on capability, productivity and targeted hiring.

For businesses across the region, the bigger question is what this means for future workforce planning and talent availability.
