A Letter From Susan Levine The Salary Guide 21 Job Market Trends andCandidate Survey Insights Career Group Salary Guide forAdministrative, Finance, HR,Operations, Hospitality, &Private Services Behind the Scenes: AboutCareer Group CompaniesContents16 27Survey Methodology ATAGNCE What was true six months ago feels like a differentmarket entirely — especially with how fast the marketmoves today. Staying ahead requires more than justreacting.Success now depends on agility: the ability topivot quickly, forecast accurately, and build teams thatare resilient and future-ready. 29%of candidates think AI is hurting their job searchOnly10%of candidates feel very confident in thecurrent job marketAnd41%of candidates are considering taking on asecond income stream Amidthe headlines and rapid changes,opportunities areemerging for those ready to pivot and grow. The months aheadwill belong to the agile – the professionals and businesses thatcan see beyond the noise and focus on building a more resilient,future-ready workforce. When the world shifts, the smartest thing you can do is hire with purpose. Intoday’s volatile landscape, global trade policies are shifting rapidly, and the rippleeffects are being felt across import/export, e-commerce, retail, and operations. The most successful businesses don’t “pull out” of talent investments when uncertainty hits. Instead,they make sharp, calculated moves that future-proof their teams and operations. We're seeing thisplay out in real-time across industries, particularly in fashion and manufacturing, where demand fordomestic production expertise is soaring. Our fashion division, Fourth Floor, recently filled multipleconfidential Head of Production roles where experience with U.S.-based factories was a non-negotiable. Global backgrounds, once considered ideal, are now being reconsidered in favor oftalent that can navigate shifting compliance, logistics, and sourcing needs closer to home. Hiring for agility has never been more important. Skills in domestic procurement, supply chainmanagement, and trade compliance are emerging as top priorities, often replacing traditional rolesfocused solely on cost-savings or offshore solutions. Companies are also seeking professionals whocan pivot sourcing strategies to duty-free countries or diversify vendor portfolios on short notice. In a market that evolves by the week, the right hire isn’t just a short-term fix. It’s a long-terminvestment in resilience. Have global or domestic policies (e.g.immigration, tariffs) affected your jobsearch? 67% OF CANDIDATES’WOULDRELOCATEFOR THE RIGHT JOB. As tariffs evolve and international supply chains face renewed pressure,companies are being forced to re-evaluate how (and where) they hire.The result? A clear pivot toward agility, foresight, and strategic skill setsthat weren’t necessarily on hiring radars even six months ago. 27% would only relocate to specific cities,while 15% would relocate anywhere withinthe U.S. Another 25% would be willing torelocate anywhere globally.
