What’s Making Waves in Hiring for 2026 🌊
The hiring landscape in Australia is shifting — and top talent is becoming more selective than ever.
Recent industry research reveals some striking trends:
• 58% of businesses expect meeting candidate salary expectations to be a major challenge in 2026.
• 88% of employers have lost candidates due to unmet expectations around pay, flexibility, culture, or role alignment.
• Candidates are increasingly valuing flexibility, work-life balance, and meaningful career alignment over traditional perks.
The takeaway? Candidate expectations are shaping hiring outcomes more than ever. Companies that move quickly, communicate clearly, and offer transparency in pay and flexibility are the ones securing top talent.
At TSHR, we’ve been seeing these trends play out across industries — making candidate experience, clear communication, and market awareness critical to winning in 2026’s competitive talent market.

Trak Recruiting (established by Garry Connell in 1995 to focus on executive and middle management roles In the retail and consumer sectors) and Scarlett Recruitment (established by G*i Scarlett in 2001 to focus on the wholesale fashion and b2b sales and design roles) together bring decades of expertise in successfully recruiting and placing high calibre people within high potential jobs within the retail, fashion, beauty, consumer, digital and related sectors throughout Australia, particularly Sydney and Melbourne, as well as internationally.
From junior jobs through to Executive Management “C level” and Board roles, we have specialist consultants who have deep expertise within the all sectors of the retail and wholesale fashion markets. We listen to our candidates’ requirements and then utilise our extensive database or adopt a “headhunt approach” to ensure you are connected to the best talent, not just those looking for a job.
Trak Human Resources (established in 2012 and directed by Belinda McPhee) provides a suite of consulting services aimed at improving efficiency, culture and maximising the return on your people investment. These include: performance management, compliance, leadership and development; talent management and succession planning; HR strategy for start-ups and established businesses; project-based HR such as cultural improvement, retention, talent management, policy and procedure development; coaching – executive and strategic Human Resources coaching to develop individuals and teams.
In 2018, we established TSHR which combines the talents of all 3 independently owned agencies, allowing us to provide a far greater range of “people related solutions” across the fashion, textile, beauty, retail, consumer and digital sectors. The TSHR Employee Lifecycle Wheel featured below highlights how our HR Consulting and Recruiting teams combine together to increase employee engagement and success by offering our assistance at multiple touchpoints including workforce compliance, psychometric testing, onboarding, retention and exit interviews/metrics. ​ Successfully identifying and recruiting the “right person for the right job” is of paramount importance, but we view their first day on board as just the beginning in terms of maximising the contribution they give in both the short and long term.
We take considerable pride in our repeat clientele, with some of Australia’s major retailers and fashion houses still with us 20 years on. Our common mantra is “providing potential and productivity through people”, while trust, integrity, expertise, and social responsibility are the cornerstones of our values.
Our purpose is 'To change people’s lives by delivering on what’s important to maximise talent and career potential, enabling individuals and organisations to prosper'.
In terms of a candidates career aspirations and abilities, what is important to us is connecting them with organisations that allow them the opportunity to maximise their potential, by offering a culture that truly recognises the value of having an environment where people can prosper. ​
