High volatility and the complexity of factors shaping the recruitment landscape make it difficult to provide clear forecasts for 2026. On one hand, we see organisations planning hiring initiatives and single-digit salary increases due to talent shortages. On the other hand, signs of ongoing business uncertainty persist.
A major opportunity – and a challenge – for employers and professionals is the rapid digital transformation, which is already reshaping skills demand. 2026 will be the right time to create a competency map, identify critical skill gaps, and design an effective workforce strategy.
