Is your talent strategy ready to tackle the growing pressures of skills shortages and AI?

Patrick Hollard, Chief Customer Officer & Executive Board Member at PageGroup

59% of recruitment leaders say that filling key vacancies will be their biggest challenge in the next 12 months while, 45% of organisations will be adapting their talent strategies, focusing on agility and forward-thinking solutions. The rapid rise of artificial intelligence adds a new layer of complexity to an already exacerbated skills mismatch, as global HR leaders predict that 22% of roles will be significantly changed by AI, while 41% will be enhanced by it.  Now more than ever, workforce planning requires not just agility, but a bold, forward-thinking strategy to equip organisations with the skills they need today while preparing for what’s next.

The future of recruitment for enterprise organisations isn't about doing more of the same, it's about rethinking the entire approach and what recruitment can and should be.

We surveyed HR & Talent acquisition leaders from multinational organisations across the globe, and our findings confirm the significant trends affecting talent strategies in years to come.

What’s clear is that the old ways aren't working for big businesses anymore.

Talent shortages, rising salary expectations, and drawn-out hiring processes aren't just operational headaches; they're strategic barriers that can make or break a business. Whether in London, New York, Berlin, or Paris, leaders must fill today's vacancies while building a resilient workforce for tomorrow.

Overcoming these challenges calls for a new kind of partnership—one that anticipates, aligns, and delivers. With over 40 years of operational experience helping businesses across the globe, we’ve seen first-hand how the world of recruitment is shifting. The challenges are undeniable, but so are the opportunities for those ready enough to act.
