Even when businesses are growing, hiring isn’t always keeping up.

In today’s uncertain global environment, shaped by geopolitical tensions, cost pressures and rapid advances in AI, companies are becoming more cautious about how they expand. Hiring is more targeted, investment is more disciplined, and productivity is taking priority over headcount.
