Bullhorn Insights delivers the intelligence recruiters need to move faster and lead with confidence in an evolving market.
Your weekly staffing snapshot
US staffing hours stable, professional hours down slightly
Commercial staffing hours continue to show notable resilience, rising consistently since Labor Day and surpassing the previous high set this summer. This upward trend has pushed total U.S. hours to their strongest level of the year. However, while professional staffing hours have regained ground after summer lows, they’ve yet to match the peak recorded in early 2025.
Recruitment by the numbers
Talent is increasingly dissatisfied with the recruitment process at all stages
According to our survey of nearly 2,800 candidates, satisfaction with the job search and placement experience has fallen from 2024 to 2025. With the job market at a standstill, firms have a critical opportunity to stand out by offering the high-touch, personalized experience job boards simply can’t match.
