Our survey aimed to uncover key trends in talent acquisition and retention and their impact on the recruitment industry. The participants represented a diverse range of private companies, with 65% from large-size companies (250+ employees), 25% from medium-sized businesses, and the remaining from small-size companies (<50 employees). The findings from the Talentor Global Talent Survey are both insightful and thought-provoking. It became clear that company leaders are facing significant challenges in finding the right talents and keeping them within their organizations. A majority of respondents identified the lack of available talent as the biggest risk to their business in achieving growth targets. To overcome this challenge, 53% of the interviewees expressed their intent to expand their talent search on an international level, while 28% are focusing on a national level. This global outlook highlights the increasing importance of cross-border talent acquisition strategies. Moreover, 64% of executives believe that attracting the right talent has become more difficult compared to the past.
