The US labor market is ever-changing, making it challenging to keep up with the latest trends. To remain competitive, organizations must be proactive about their talent acquisition strategies in 2023.

Here’s what you can expect regarding difficulty finding high-level human talent, greater demand that cannot be covered with local talent, and the latest talent acquisition trends. 

 

It Will Be Harder Than Ever to Find High-Level Human Talent

The war for talent is on and will be more intense in 2023 than now. The first challenge businesses will face is finding high-level human talent because more jobs are available than people to fill them. 

Joey Hoelscher argues that, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic hardship faced globally, it has become difficult for employers to find skilled workers in many industries. 

According to Hoelscher, the labor shortage currently occurring in the US can lead to operational risks and limitations in public services. This explains why getting and retaining high-quality workers is essential amid an impending recession

Why will it be challenging to find workers in America in 2023? 

Some factors that would influence the current labor shortage, like the talent gap, the effects of the pandemic on the national economy, the great resignation, the rapid transition toward remote work, and the utilization of automation tools in the workplace.

Demand for Workers in America Will Outpace Supply in 2023

Businesses will also face greater demand for workers that local talent cannot cover. As a result, small companies will need to look outside their local area for employees. 

It is possible that business owners, executives, HR specialists, and recruiters provide relocation assistance or remote work options to attract employees from other parts of the country or even outside the US. 

If you’re considering transitioning to remote work via outsourcing, you should know its benefits for your company. 

For instance, outsourcing has five productivity benefits for your company, including having high-quality work, improving customer service, boosting profitability, allowing you to use resources better, and developing a sustainable business.
