The report showed that jobs pertaining to operations, sales, and engineering will be the highest priority roles to fill in 2017. Furthermore, the report shows that 81% of talent leaders feel that talent is the number one priority in their organisation and in 2017 this will gain even more prominence. While more than 60% of the surveyed teams say that they will be witnessing an increase in hiring, 29% feel that it will decrease, and 11% feel budgets and recruiting team headcounts will stay flat.
