The leadership read
A change at the top rarely stays at the top. REA Group's move reshapes the layer beneath it in Real Estate & Construction as a new leader sets priorities and the team re-forms. Watch the first two or three appointments that follow; they signal direction more reliably than any statement.
Market context: MitchelLake's Talent Market Index sits at 109.3 (Hot), up 7.6 on the prior month; Oceania hiring signal is running easing (-6.2pts).
