Last week I put up a survey of what are the most important roles and an article I read seems to back that up. The survey reported 52% was Sales and then came the CEO at 28%. Today, I’ll share the noteworthy insights regarding our current hiring landscape and the macro dynamics influencing our considerations.
According to the article, despite an overall slowdown in hiring, it’s interesting to observe that there’s a compelling case for stronger investments in growth. In particular, Sales & Business Development roles have shown significant growth, with a 23% increase quarter-over-quarter (QoQ) and a substantial 26% rise year-over-year (YoY). Notably, this marks the third time in four quarters that the function has experienced quarterly growth, and the second time in the same period that it has achieved 20%+ quarterly growth.
Equally exciting is the focus on the CEO role, which remains prominently in demand. Over the last two quarters, there has been a remarkable 22% YoY increase, and an even more impressive 40% YoY rise when comparing Q2 and Q3 of 2023 to the same period in 2022.
These trends suggest a growing emphasis on strategic hires that contribute to a company’s overall growth and success. As we navigate these dynamics, it’s essential for us to stay attuned to the evolving needs of our team and the broader market.
