The Group’s contractor labour revenue makes up 92% (31 December 2013: 93%) of the consolidated revenue, and 8% (31 December 2013: 7%) relates to permanent recruitment services. During the half year there were no changes in segment accounting policies that had a material effect on the segment information.
-
Permanent hires in Australia and New Zealand continued to decline as a result of customers delaying hiring decisions in addition to the weak economic climate across all sectors. Contracting business areas are showing solid performance and growth potential, notably the resource on demand division, JAV IT, and the Clarius Major Accounts division.
-
The Group is focusing on simplifying and evolving the current business model across all service lines which has resulted in a number of restructuring activities during the half year ended 31 December 2014. These included one-off costs, provisions and write downs totalling $7.3m.
