According to a recent study conducted by Robert Half Canada, more than half of Canadian organizations plan to add new positions in the second half of 2024. The State of Canadian Hiring Survey gathered information from 1800 managers and found that 52% report plans to add new permanent positions. The survey found that organizational growth was the primary factor influencing hiring decisions, followed by employee turnover (41%), project-based work requiring skilled professionals (39%), and a lack of requisite skills among current employees (38%). Nearly all hiring managers (90%) noted that they are experiencing difficulty finding skilled professionals.

Top hiring challenges managers anticipate in the coming months include:

• Lack of applicants with the required skill sets (51%)
• Finding candidates who align with company culture (49%)
• Hiring quickly enough to land the best talent (46%)
• Meeting candidates’ salary expectations (46%)

To help attract and hire top talent, managers are:

• Willing to bend on years of experience if the candidate possesses the required skills (59%)
• Offering hybrid work options (39%)
• Offering flexible schedules (37%)
