The Future of Tech Hiring: 8 Bold Predictions for 2024

Pick your metaphor. A rollercoaster. Whiplash. A yo-yo. A pendulum. The last twelve months in tech recruiting and hiring have been tough for everyone. Talent acquisition teams, DEI leaders, hiring managers, recruiters, employees, jobseekers, and the organizations who support them. 

No one expects a return to the rapid scaling of early 2022, but what’s to come in 2024? We surveyed 250 tech employers and 1000+ tech workers to find out. We asked guests on Hired’s podcast, Talk Talent to Me. We posed questions to our partners, including Criteria, Workable, and Teamtailor. Finally, members of our leadership team including CEO Josh Brenner, VP Product Jon Dobrowolski, and SVP People Strategy Samantha Friedman weighed in with their thoughts. 

We cover headcount budgets, changes in recruiting strategies and metrics, what tech workers want most, (after compensation and benefits), cost of vacancy concerns, whether hiring boomerangs is a good plan, where AI in recruiting begins (and ends), and more.

In this eBook, we present our tech recruiting and hiring predictions for 2024. Use them to help guide your strategy for the year.
