The challenges of recruitment in 2024
From the first responses, more than 68% of recruiters say recruitment is challenging or extremely challenging in 2024.
Competition from other recruiters/employers is the top reason they are finding the market challenging currently followed by candidates having unrealistic expectations of the role and wages being lower than requested.
The market has also become more “candidate-lead” and this is changing how people apply for, and accept, new roles.

Other technologies recruiters say supports hiring and retention are:
- Online assessment tools
- Video interviewing platforms
- Recruitment chatbots
- Online timesheets
