2025年人才获取技术市场格局指南

IntroductionOver the past two years, talent acquisition has been in a state of near-constant evolution, shaped by economic uncertainty, shiftingemployee expectations, reduction in resources, and rapid technological advancements. Just as companies and teams adjusted to thenew normal, something else surfaced to change it all again.The Great Resignation exemplified this shift, with almost 48 million U.S. workers quitting their jobs in 2021, averaging nearly 4 milliondepartures each month—a record high.¹ This mass exodus highlighted workers' priorities for greater flexibility, better pay, and ahealthier work-life balance. At the same time, businesses faced the challenge of balancing hiring needs with financial constraints,some turning to internal mobility and reskilling as companies looked inward to fill skill gaps. The sharp rise in U.S. inflation during2021–2022, which peaked at 9.0% in June 2022, added pressure on companies.²Soon after, a wave of layoffs hit the headlines in early 2023, with almost 200% increase in layoffs in the first nine months of the year.³With less budget, fewer open positions, and an overflow of applicants, many of the layoffs impacted HR departments and recruitingteams as companies determined they no longer needed sourcers and recruiters to find talent. This reduction in hiring personnelcoincided with a reliance on technology and hiring managers to oversee the recruitment process. Despite an influx of applications,almost half of companies reported struggling to identify candidates possessing the necessary skills.⁴As businesses entered 2024, their priorities shifted further. Companies became more focused on reducing costs and increasingrevenue, pushing hiring and retention concerns further down their list of immediate objectives.⁵ In this climate, talent acquisitionprofessionals must prove their strategic value, not just as recruiters but as key contributors to driving business success.The rise of AI and automation has transformed the hiring process, streamlining candidate sourcing, screening, and engagement.However, these advancements have also introduced new concerns around bias, ethics, and compliance, with emerging regulationsaimed at ensuring fair hiring practices. Meanwhile, pay transparency laws, diversity initiatives, and the increasing importance ofemployer branding have pushed organizations to rethink their approach to attracting and retaining top talent.
