Quarterly Insights | Q1 2025

Sarah Bolitho • April 23, 2025

Levyl is proud to publish our Q1 Insights Guide for our People & Culture community.

This guide reflects on the January to March 2025 period across the Australian People & Culture recruitment market and makes predictions on what is to come next for the April to June period ahead.


We do expect to see a subtle increase in confidence across the market in Q2 but not without cautiousness. There is positive news for candidates with strong ER/IR experience with these skills being in strong demand as is the same for senior leaders with change and transformation capability.


💡What’s Inside:

  • Data on Q1 job ad activity, including shifts by state and HR role type
  • Insights on where demand is growing, softening, or stabilising across the P&C market
  • Candidate behaviour trends drawn from real-time hiring conversations and market data
  • Practical guidance to help employers and job seekers navigate the months ahead - grounded in what’s already transpired this year and what will matter looking ahead.

While these tools can speed up processes and surface talent in new ways, they can also unintentionally reinforce systemic biases if not designed and implemented carefully. This report unpacks the hidden ways bias can creep into AI-driven hiring and offers practical steps to ensure technology supports, rather than undermines, diversity, equity and inclusion goals. 💡 What’s Inside: • The most common bias risks in AI recruitment tools and how they arise • Real-world examples of bias in candidate screening, assessment and selection • Proven strategies for mitigating bias without losing efficiency • How to audit AI systems and embed accountability into recruitment practices Download your copy below and gain the knowledge to make AI a true partner in building fairer, more inclusive hiring processes.
