Here are the critical hiring realities that every decision-maker needs to consider this year:

1. Specialised Skills Are Non-Negotiable
Demand for expertise in FinTech, ESG, AI, and market-specific strategies is at an all-time high. These professionals are rarely on the job market—they’re actively courted by competitors. The ability to attract and engage them is a game-changer.

2. The High Cost of a Mis-Hire
Studies show a poor hire can cost companies up to 30% of the employee’s annual salary, not to mention the impact on team morale and productivity. For senior and C-level positions, this cost can skyrocket into the millions, making strategic hiring an absolute necessity.

3. Retention Challenges in a Competitive Market
70% of employees in competitive industries cite lack of growth opportunities and cultural misalignment as reasons for leaving (Gallup, 2024). Compensation alone is no longer enough—professionals value flexibility, purpose-driven leadership, and alignment with organisational values.

At FP Global, we understand these challenges and partner with organisations to ensure every hire is a strategic asset.
