I hate predictions but here we are
Main reason I’m hopeful hiring will increase in 2024:
👉Interim staffing was unchanged between 2022 and 2023.
I know, I know. “James wtf does that even mean? And why do you think hiring will uptick?”
Interim solutions are 1/3 of our service offerings. That includes everything that isn’t a full time hire: contract recruiters, fractional execs, freelancer design or marketers, contract tech talent, temporary finance & accounting talent, payrolling services, etc.
I’m not afraid to admit that our overall business was down in 2023. Around 25%.
But interim solutions were *unchanged.* Zero drop off in a down market.
Why is that important?
Historically, dips in the hiring market look like this:
1. Cut contractors 👉 2. Layoff FTEs 👉 3. Hire contractors 👉 4. Hire FTEs
We did steps 1-3 all happen within an 18 month period. If history repeats itself again, FTE hiring is next.
For the record, I don’t think we’re having another decade long hiring bull run until VC’s get more free money to burn via 0% interest rates. But the signs for some sort of 2024 improvement are there.
(Friendly reminder that no one can predict the future, least of all recruiters.)

Candidate Experience sucks right now. That’s it. That’s the show.
If you think back to 2021, when the job market was on fire, it was top of mind for everyone. Not just LinkedIn think pieces, but companies poured lots of time and effort into white-glove interview processes.
Now that the market cooled off, so did the effort. But there’s a disconnect: attracting talent isn’t any easier right now. In fact, it’s harder when you inadvertently cut corners.
Jeff Smith and James Hornick explain why ignoring candidate experience is costing companies big in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 111, “Candidate Experience Has Never Been Worse”
