HR Hiring Survey – The Results

More of a question of retention in a buoyant market than attraction.” 

With all the published uncertainty around the hiring market, it is difficult to get an overall sense of recruitment experience and priorities in HR. Our own findings and experiences with hiring patternsas noted by our UK Managing Director, Amy Morris, differed significantly from APSCo (Association of Professional Staffing Companies) published figures. These, in turn, read differently to total numbers published on direct company websites. As such, we were keen to ask our customers for their experience of the HR hiring markettheir key priorities on the HR agenda and hiring priorities moving into 2023.

The results make for interesting reading.
