Hiring Trends in 2024

1/3/2024

2023 saw a reduction in recruiters by up to 50% in some sectors, as companies scaled back and laid off workers.

The tech sector lead the charge, laying off hundreds of thousands of employees in 2023 … (so far so good in 2024 … no outrageous layoff announcements as they started in early January of 2023 and kept going all year long).


Hiring Trends in 2024 (according to Forbes):

1. Intentionality Regarding Hybrid Work – can’t be 100% remote always

2. Upskilling – improving skills, especially as it relates to technology

3. Automation – companies are trying to increase the use of automation in hiring

4. Predictive Analytics and Data Driven HR – using numbers to make decisions

5. DEI – Increasing emphasis in 2024 and beyond

Make it a great day, everyone!
