“While some organizations are in hiring freezes, others are actively recruiting, illustrating the unique challenges each are facing given ongoing uncertainty and performance. We're also witnessing a growing interest in cost-cutting measures, from optimizing workforce costs to exploring outsourcing options like nearshoring and offshoring. In short, companies are exercising caution while maintaining their bottom line. Many have surpassed their own expectations, ending the year in a far better position than they had envisioned just six months ago.”
