Brakkeコンサルティングの視点
素晴らしい辞任、素晴らしい留任。そして今、素晴らしい一時停止。一体どういうことだ？
求職者は就職市場から完全に離れつつあります。Zogby が Employ* のために 1500 人以上の米国成人を対象に最近行った調査では、求職者が仕事を得るのに時間がかかるだけでなく、難しくなっているというメディアの報道が裏付けられています。2025 年の調査結果では、41% が仕事を得るのに 1〜3 か月かかると回答し、30% が 4〜6 か月かかると回答しました。私たちは後退しました。今年は、1〜3 か月の割合が 37% に低下し、4〜6 か月は 33% でした。7〜9 か月と見積もった人は 7% から 9% に増加しました。.
さらに暗い見通しだ。2025年には、就職は「やや簡単」または「非常に簡単」と答えた人が44%、55%が「やや難しい」から「非常に難しい」と答えた。今年の集計結果は、それぞれ35%と64%だった。.
では、これからどうすべきか？ 雇用主は、こうした憂慮すべき流れを食い止めるために、以下の対策を講じるべきだとEmployは提言している。
- 安定性、成長性、チーム文化について具体的に述べてください。
- 不確実性を減らし、スケジュールと期待値を明確にする
- より迅速に行動し、決定事項や行動を共有する
- 優秀な候補者をターゲットにする（無差別にアプローチするのではなく）
- 内省し、チームを育成する
求職者にとって有利な状況から不利な状況へと、あっという間に状況が変わってしまったのは驚きです。優秀な人材は数多く、新たな職を求めています。明確で効率的なアプローチが際立ちます。Brakkeがお手伝いいたします。.
