U.S. Tech Hiring Slows as Employers Focus on Specialized Skills

ManpowerGroup Inc.’s latest Experis Tech Talent Outlook for Q1 2026 shows a moderation in U.S. tech hiring as employers shift focus from quantity to quality. The Net Employment Outlook for U.S. tech employers has dropped to 33%, a decline of 10 percentage points from the previous quarter and 19 points year-over-year, placing the U.S. below the global average of 35% for the first time. Despite this slowdown, nearly half of U.S. tech employers still plan to add staff, with only 16% expecting reductions. The main challenge is access to specialized skills, prompting companies to invest in upskilling, reskilling, and targeting new talent pools. Globally, tech hiring expectations remain strongest in emerging markets such as Brazil, Peru, and India, while mature markets experience a cooling trend.
