Newsletter - January 2026

Happy New Year!

As we step into 2026, we’re reaching out with a brief Hiring & Career Intentions Survey — and we’d love your input.

We’d like to understand:

  • Whether you anticipate hiring in 2026, and/or
  • Whether you’re considering a job or career change this year.
Click here for Survey!

We conducted this same survey at the beginning of 2025 and shared the results with our network. This year, we’ll be doing something especially valuable: comparing the 2025 results with our 2026 findings to identify real shifts, trends, and signals in the market.

Because we’re on the front lines of hiring — working daily with more than 4,000 hiring leaders and 10,000 active candidates — we have a unique, real-time pulse on what’s actually happening versus what’s being speculated about.

There’s a lot of noise right now about where hiring is headed. Our goal is to cut through that chatter and provide you with clear, data-driven insights from our world.

We’ll be sharing the full comparison and key takeaways from both surveys with you on January 11.

Thank you in advance for participating. Your perspective helps create a clearer, more accurate picture of the market for everyone.

Go get 'em in 2026!
