Hiring Trends for Employers to Watch in 2025

2025 is here! Monitor the top hiring trends, and you can find ways to add to your talent base in the months to come. Plus, your organisation will be well-equipped to recruit top talent throughout the year. 

Watch these hiring trends in 2025. 

1. Capitalising on Skills-Based Hiring

Use skills-based hiring to focus on job candidates’ skills rather than their experience and education. Get started by developing job candidate assessments. From here, test candidates on how they perform in various exercises. See how well candidates perform to get a glimpse into whether they have the skills necessary to thrive in a particular role. 

2. Offering Remote Work Opportunities

Provide remote work opportunities to tackle labor shortages and engage with talent from across the globe. 

Let your current personnel work remotely and equip employees with tools that ensure they can communicate and collaborate with one another from anywhere. Stay in constant contact with remote workers and verify that they receive plenty of support.

Promote your remote work opportunities to job candidates. As you meet with candidates, explain how your organisation is doing everything within its power to assist its remote workers. Show candidates that you want them to thrive in a remote role with your organisation. 

3. Being Transparent About the Salaries You Offer 

Tell job seekers what you are willing to offer them. Share details about your salary range for a role, and job candidates can plan accordingly. E

List details about the benefits you offer in your job postings. Let candidates know if you offer unlimited paid time off (PTO), health benefits, and other perks. 

4. Connecting with Passive Job Candidates

Reach out to industry professionals and tell them about roles you are looking to fill. Be proactive, since an industry professional may be open to a role with your organisation at any time. 

Furthermore, build your organisation’s brand and continue to look for ways to enhance it. Share information about your brand’s mission, values, and goals in your job postings. Expect candidates to apply if what your organisation is all about resonates with them. 

5. Promoting Professional Development 

Provide workers with opportunities to grow with your organisation. Find out what skills your employees want to learn and help them advance their careers. 

Share details about your organisation’s professional development opportunities in your job postings as well. During interviews, address any questions that candidates have about these opportunities. Explain to candidates how you will help them develop successful careers within your organisation.
