APSCo managing director on the biggest issues facing the recruitment industry

Lesley Horsburgh, managing director at the Association of Professional Staffing Companies (APSCo) shared with The HR Leader her journey to her current role, the evolution of APSCo to what it is today, and the market challenges that they’re learning about via their members.

Ms Horsburgh discussed talent shortages both within and outside of the recruitment industry — not only is the industry under pressure to help clients find talent, it’s hard to find recruitment talent too.

The podcast conversation also delved into the challenges associated with Australian legislation trying to accommodate both ‘white’ and ‘blue’ collar work with the same rules, where a more nuanced approach may be beneficial.
