From Hiring Paralysis to Hiring Precision: A New Executive Playbook

Executive Boardroom

Boardroom 3

The Talent Market is Frozen–Your Strategy Can’t Be

Move beyond guesswork and bring clarity to one of today’s most consequential leadership decisions: whether to hire, hold, or restructure in a labor market that is rapidly changing. Exclusive BambooHR platform data shares insights on a labor market potentially stuck in a deep freeze. As of November 2025, global hiring was down 14% year-over-year while job openings are up 15%, and turnover has fallen to its lowest level since 2020. It’s time for a new playbook.

This kind of inaction can be costly. This private boardroom will preview exclusive insights from BambooHR’s aggregated platform data and real world experiences that spotlight emerging patterns in job mobility, stalled promotions, AI-driven productivity shifts, and where the workforce has stalled.

Attendees will learn:
