The emergence of new projects (48%) and employee turnover rates (47%) were also identified as key factors driving hiring.  \n\"Given these results, companies are clearly optimistic about their hiring outlook for 2025,\" said Dawn Fay, operational president of Robert Half. \"To succeed in a competitive job market, employers must adopt proactive and strategic recruiting strategies to help them stand out and attract top talent.\"\nWithout a streamlined and efficient plan of action, organizations risk delaying critical initiatives and putting strain on existing employees. Hiring managers revealed the greatest impact of not filling roles in a timely manner:\n\nStretched bandwidth and employee burnout (42%)\nDelayed project timelines (39%)\nDecreased employee productivity (37%)\n\nStrategies to Land Top Talent\nIn addition to being competitive with salaries, managers plan to implement the following strategies to secure and retain top talent while meeting project demands in 2025: \n\nDeveloping or enhancing mentorship programs (35%)\nHiring contract professionals for potential full-time roles (33%)\nOffering paid internships (32%)\nRehiring retired employees as consultants (22%)\n\n\"Retaining top talent will be just as critical as attracting it in 2025,\" Fay added. \"The most successful organizations are routinely evaluating compensation, providing career development opportunities, and offering perks to keep employees engaged and productive.\"\nAbout the ResearchThe online survey was developed by Robert Half and conducted by an independent research firm in November 2024.
