NPAworldwide’s Business Barometer Survey Reveals Optimism Despite Global Talent Slowdowns

August 31st, 2023 by Veronica Blatt

NPAworldwide, the leading global recruitment network, has released the findings of its latest Business Barometer Survey. The survey, conducted in August 2023, gathers insights from independent recruitment firm owners within the NPAworldwide network. These members specialize in executive, professional, and contract positions on a global scale.

In recent months, there has been a slowdown in the global demand for talent. While fewer job openings are available, recruiters with expertise and connections still have ample opportunities to thrive. According to NPAworldwide president Dave Nerz, 59% of respondents reported similar or improved business outcomes compared to the previous 180-day period.

However, these results show an 11% decline since February 2023, indicating a cooling trend. Despite this, a majority of respondents remain optimistic about the next six months, with 83.5% expecting similar or better results ahead. The competition for top talent remains fierce.

Additional key findings from the survey include:

  • 38% of respondents are based outside of North America.
  • The largest respondent group is from North America (62%), followed by Australia/New Zealand (15%).
  • The remaining respondents represent various regions such as Asia, EMEA (Europe, Middle East & Africa), and Latin America.
  • At present, 73% of respondents foresee positive or stable conditions in the next six months compared to the preceding six months. This marks a 3% improvement since February 2023. While the pace may have slowed down overall, there is still optimism surrounding year-end and early 2024.

“The accounting/finance, manufacturing, and technology sectors continue to show strength,” noted Nerz. “Recruitment firms specializing in contingent and retained placements are experiencing robust demand for talent. Top candidates are receiving multiple offers and counteroffers from their current employers. In this competitive landscape, speed and attractive compensation packages remain essential for successfully securing top talent. Retaining talent will become increasingly challenging but crucial. Despite efforts to cool the economy, confidence is growing, and the job market remains surprisingly stable.”

With valuable insights from recruitment experts across the globe, NPAworldwide’s Business Barometer Survey paints a comprehensive picture of the recruitment industry’s current landscape and future prospects.

GRAND RAPIDS, MICHIGAN, USA – May 5, 2021 – Simone Allan of Mondo Search Pty Limited (Sydney, Australia) is the recipient of the NPAworldwide Community Service Award. In recognition of this award, NPAworldwide has made a $1,000 contribution to The Women’s Resilience Centre.

When COVID-19 struck in March 2020, causing a drastic slowdown at her recruitment firm Mondo Search (mondosearch.com.au), owner and founder Simone Allan found herself with time and space to think about having a broader impact on her community. In Australia, a woman is murdered by a current or former partner every 8 days on average. Social services organizations have been gravely concerned about the potential increase in domestic violence due to pandemic restrictions. This led Simone to launch The Women’s Resilience Centre (womensresliencecentre.com.au), which has three missions:

  • Provide medium-term residential care for women and their children for up to 12 months (crisis care only provides short-term accommodations for up to 12 weeks)
  • Provide a trauma-informed, evidence-based resilience program with both clinical and social enterprise capability components, working with the University of Technology in Sydney, one of Australia’s most commercial universities
  • Provide a peer-to-peer mentoring service to match thrivers with survivors, utilizing the Mentor Revolution (mentorrevolution.com)

“I am deeply honoured for the acknowledgement by NPAworldwide for this Community Service Award,” commented Simone Allan. “This recognition will not only support global awareness for our resilience program but the donation of $1000 will assist in making these missions happen. It also assists in support in government applications for grants showing that we are gathering community interest and engagement.”

“NPAworldwide is proud to recognize Simone Allan with the Community Service Award for her many years of community service,” said James Lyons, NPAworldwide Chair-Elect. He continued, “The Women’s Reslience Centre is the pinnacle of Simone’s charitable activities. We applaud her tremendous devotion and dedication to this worthy cause.”

The Community Service Award was established in late 2019 to recognize members who are contributing to their local communities, volunteering, doing charitable activities, or impacting people in ways beyond their work in the network. Nominations are sought from the NPAworldwide membership based on the following criteria: Contribution to the audience or community; Impact on people / results for the community; Legacy or enduring difference made; Time invested / significance of sacrifice. The Community Service Award recipient is chosen by a selection committee, with the award presented during the NPAworldwide Global Conference.
