Here are 3 top hiring and compensation trends you need to know:
1. Hiring remains mission-critical.
As the market began to cool in the second half of 2022, hiring managers swiftly shifted their focus to high-quality, high-impact candidates. On average, hiring processes took 22% longer in H2 2022 than they did in H1 2022. Many companies added steps to their interview process in order to better assess candidates before making an offer.
2. Remote work is still widely preferred to in-office.
Employers may be turning up the pressure to return to the office, but tech workers aren’t on board just yet. 75% of job posts in H2 2022 still supported fully-remote work. This is especially relevant to senior talent, who have more leverage to continue working remotely.
3. Recession fears and cost-of-living increases led to higher base salaries.
As U.S.-based employees experienced a higher cost of living, they prioritized financial security over equity and high OTE options. Average base salaries increased for both technical and GTM talent as companies worked to attract top talent while countering inflation concerns.
- Experienced software engineers saw a 5% average salary increase
- Post-sales roles saw a 13% average increase in base salary
