Published on: 1 February 2024 Recruitment is in continuous evolution; over the past year, the introduction of ChatGPT has enabled recruiters to work more efficiently. However, the tight labor market has pressured the recruitment sector to approach things differently. In 2024, significant developments are expected in the HR sector.
What does the job market look like today?
In 2024, the tight labor market will persist. Statec predicts that the unemployment rate will continue to rise, as it has in recent months.

Additionally, there are simply fewer jobs due to the economic slowdown, with Statec noting a 40% drop compared to the same period last year.
