I wrote an article for Nasdaq.com a few weeks ago, cautioning against relying on Generative AI too much in your hiring process. Hiring people requires people. Technology can and should be utilized to make the process more efficient. Trying to rely completely on technology to replace humans seems like a great way to really screw up your hiring process.
But not having a strategy for how your business can incorporate aspects of generative AI would be a huge mistake. Opinions are varied about the impact new technology is going to have on the workforce. For 20+ years, companies have had to hire new talent to deal with new trends in the economy (web, mobile, blockchain, etc.).
How do you hire for technology that has only existed for a few months? I wrote the second part of a two-part series for Nasdaq.com, covering that topic. Check it out!
In this quarterly update, Emily and Ryan hosted Hirewell CEO, Matt Massuci, where they dove into company-wide and practice-specific hiring trends from the start of 2025. While January and February lagged behind expectations—down 10% year-over-year—March brought a 25% surge, signaling renewed momentum. Executive search and interim hiring are on the rise, even as Solutions work has slowed. Despite external factors like Liberation Day causing brief delays, the last six weeks were the strongest of the year, especially the past two. Practice leads weigh in with mixed performance: CF and GTM are seeing higher deal volumes but softer billing, Industrial is driving growth through high-level searches, and Tech, while down, appears to be stabilizing. Net-net: 2025 began slower than 2024, but all signs point to a strong rebound.
