Renewed for the first time in approximately 20 years
Survey conducted among 1,600 mid-career hiring managers nationwide
43.5% of companies say they feel a shortage of full-time employees
“Filling roles with immediately productive hires (47.3%)” ranked highest
A total of 54.6% said they would “become more proactive”
Applicants: “Many have no prior experience (42.4%)”
“Many have experience (24.5%)”
Among hires, too, “many had no prior experience (34.6%)”
“Many had experience (30.3%)”
The gap was smaller than among applicants. While both applicants and hires included many people with no prior experience, the share of experienced candidates rose at the hiring stage. This suggests that companies prioritize immediately productive hires while also considering candidates’ motivation to grow and potential, balancing both factors in their hiring decisions.
49.6% were satisfied with the number of mid-career hires
51.8% were satisfied with the quality of the people they hired
