How to Respond to the Changing Workforce in 2025
The workforce is evolving, and our latest Pulse Report highlights exactly where organisations need to focus. Only 17% of professionals are actively job-hunting, meaning the majority (83%) are passive but open to the right opportunities.
What This Means For Hiring:
- Reassess your approach to talent attraction. Traditional job adverts are no longer enough. Engage passive candidates with tailored outreach and employer branding that highlights flexibility, culture, and development opportunities.
- Prioritise employee retention. With fewer employees actively seeking roles, companies that adapt to their expectations will see lower attrition rates. For example, flexible working arrangements and additional time off now outrank traditional perks, such as pensions or bonuses.
- Be proactive, not reactive. Don’t wait for candidates to come to you. Reach out, build relationships, and showcase the value of joining your organisation.
At Calibre Search, we help organisations cut through the noise and connect with the talent that matters.
