The US economy added 114,000 jobs in July A decrease from both expected gains and a downwardly revised 179,000 jobs added in June. This is also below the 12 month average gain of 215,000 OutScout take 💬 We're seeing a continued cooling trend, with 3 months of downwardly revised job adds and July -46% to the 12 month average gain. Job vacancies tell a similar story (slide 2) in recent years. However, zooming out, we may be returning to a healthier and more sustainable long-term growth trendline. Resilience has been the key theme. But cooling remains persistent in this higher interest rate environment. For job seekers 👩💻 Improve your skill set - standing out is essential in a slowing market. Focus on gaining skills or certifications that are relevant to your industry to boost your marketability. Strategically connect - establishing a strong professional network, whether actively job searching or not, can help you stay adaptable and seize opportunities when they present themselves. Remain adaptable - being flexible is key. If the needs arises, stay open to exploring different roles, industries, or locations. Consider temporary or contract positions as stepping stones to full-time opportunities. For employers 💼 Focus on retention and upskilling - prioritize efforts that retain existing talent and invest in employee development programs that can enhance productivity Optimize recruitment strategies - with candidate experience and recruitment marketing efficiency becoming top of mind, now is the time to rethink recruitment processes to better attract top talent Prepare for sustainable growth - instead of reacting impulsively to hiring needs, create a strategic plan to prevent overworking internal teams. A 70/30 balance between internal and external recruitment efforts can be a beneficial starting point. ---- #careers #hiring #recruiting

One of the biggest challenges in the current hiring market is the increasing selectivity of hiring teams. 🔎 While it's important to be picky, decisions need to be made quickly to avoid losing top candidates to other offers. This "I want to see more" mentality can negatively impact the hiring process. Here's how both hiring teams and job seekers can adapt: 👉 For hiring teams, it's encouraged to be selective, but ensure there is clear alignment on what you're looking for in candidates. Be decisive and ready to move forward. Top talent has options and won't wait around for your interview process to catch up. 👉For job seekers, the number of candidates being interviewed for an opening is on the rise, sometimes doubling from what we've seen in the past. Make sure you're well-prepared and that your experience closely matches the positions you're pursuing interviews for. Don't miss the latest episode of the Breakout Podcast featuring insights from Gareth Webb and Dan Jackson on the current state of the market in 2024 and predictions for tech hiring trends in 2025. 🎧 Check it out here: https://spoti.fi/4dn4FFu ----- #talentacquisition #hiring #careers

This year has been quite eventful in the world of tech hiring (per usual, right?) Nevertheless, the OutScout team has been hard at work - compiling our observations from the year thus far. 👇 2024 Trends: 🟣 This year has been all about teams closest to revenue, particularly sales and GTM teams. Companies are prioritizing hiring strong GTM professionals with proven track records to deliver on top line results. 🟣 The Office of the CFO is in high demand, with a strong emphasis on accounting and finance openings as businesses closely monitor their financials. 🟣 There has been an uptick in hiring for Product Managers, signaling a greater willingness to invest in R&D compared to the past year and a half. This is good news! 2024 Challenges: 🟣 Hiring teams are becoming more selective, which is important, but they must make decisions quickly. The "I want to see more" mentality can harm the hiring process and employer branding, leading candidates to accept offers elsewhere. 🟣 Talent teams are still striving to find a balance. Many companies have not fully recovered from reducing their hiring teams and tools in 2022-23, resulting in increased disorder in the hiring process. Looking ahead: 🟣 Anticipating strong hiring trends in specific industries utilizing AI, particularly in fintech and health tech 🟣 Could there be a slowdown leading up to the US election? It may extend the cautious "wait and see" approach that dominated much of 2023 ---- PS - If interested in hearing more?
