As 2024 draws to a close, we want to express our deep gratitude to you—our clients, executive candidates, and network of valued partners and industry readers. Your trust, collaboration, and engagement have been at the core of our success this year. It’s a privilege to be part of your professional journey and to play a part in shaping leadership across industries.
As we reflect on a year of change, we’re excited to share our December blog by Ben Taylor, Partner. This year, Ben expands his focus from trends among HR leaders to predicting 2025 leadership hiring trends across the board. Highlights include looking at the impact of forces ranging from AI, a changing workforce, and surging job applications, to a growing need for workforce planning and innovative search partnerships. Most importantly, there’s a critical requirement now for leaders who excel at navigating change. With 2025 on the horizon, the predictions offer actionable insights to help you stay ahead in a competitive landscape.
Looking forward to the new year, we’d love to hear your thoughts. What trends do you foresee in executive and leadership hiring? How are you gearing up to build robust, future-ready teams? Let’s connect in January to exchange ideas and map the path forward together.
Thank you for making 2024 a remarkable year. Here’s to a successful and inspiring 2025!
Warm regards,
THE TEAM AT FREDERICKSON PARTNERS, A GALLAGHER COMPANY
