Over a third (39%) of businesses highlighted inflation as the top factor that will have the biggest impact on hiring this year and 25% say US economic performance will affect it too.
But despite these challenges, over half (55%) of businesses remain upbeat about 2025.
Over half (57%) of employers also expect to increase their hiring activity, compared to just 6% who expect recruitment to slow.
To help bridge staffing gaps, the use of flexible and temporary workers is likely to rise. Over a third (36%) of businesses plan to increase their use of temporary workers this year.
Meanwhile, 58% intend to hire more full-time employees, and 44% aim to add part-time staff.
