Business-as-usual hiring will accelerate towards the end of the first half of the year, supported by project-based hiring and a skills-based approach to talent and development. What does that mean for talent acquisition teams?

“Successful talent acquisition teams will further integrate into key business decision-making. Increasingly, I have seen a move away from expensive, disjointed agency approaches to hiring. Organizations prefer a more holistic approach to talent that includes a strategic lens on talent development, workforce planning, and both permanent and flexible workforces. Whether that is in-house or through an RPO partner, this consultative approach ensures a more resilient foundation to hiring that withstands the twists and turns of the market.”

“My advice to leaders for 2024 is to embrace the opportunities for talent acquisition with an agile mindset and data-driven approach. Especially at the start of the year, this will largely revolve around the technological advancements and the implementation of AI-enabled technologies. As the pace of hiring gradually returns to business-as-usual, supporting teams in the implementation of project-based and more holistic RPO solutions such as total talent, will take center stage.”
