AI, Labor Shifts and Possible Recession Weigh Heavy on Future of Recruitment
One thing is for certain: The future is uncertain.
Analysts conducted dozens of interviews with CEOs and corporate executives. Spent hundreds of hours researching traffic, revenue and new products at job boards/recruitment marketplaces worldwide.
- Trends: All there. AI, referrals, pay-for-performance
- Top 50: Traffic
- Top 25: Revenue
- Top 15: Freelance
- Top 3 from A to Z: The leaders in 68 countries, from Argentina to Zimbabwe
Companies the publisher looked at include the CareerBuilder and Monster, Redarbor, Jooble, and Karriere.at.
Turmoil. Uncertainty. A challenging future. A bright long-term horizon. All of those apply today to recruitment marketplaces and job boards.
These are the factors driving this dynamic mix:
- Recession: Or recession-ish. Or economic growth. Certainly, economic uncertainty.
- Tariffs: Or no tariffs. Trade wars.
- AI: Whether it’s generative or agentic, it’s changing recruitment marketplaces every day.
- The post-Covid-boom slump.
However you view it, the future is murky. Except in two of those areas, AI is coming. No, it’s here. And the post-COVID-19 boom slump is also here. This report is based on dozens of interviews with corporate CEOs and executives; research by more than 30 writer-analysts around the globe, and detailed analysis of traffic, revenue and new products at job boards/recruitment marketplaces worldwide.
Top story? The impact of AI. One forecast: In five years, many jobs won’t be “found;” companies will use AI and data to find candidates, and send them pre-approved job offers like banks send out pre-approved credit offers today.
LinkedIn and Indeed are still top-of-mind for every job board. What are the top 25 job boards worldwide by revenue? Along with lists of the top 15 freelance marketplaces, the top 50 recruitment marketplaces by traffic, and Top 3 lists for 68 countries from Argentina to Zimbabwe.
Companies looked at include: CareerBuilder+Monster, InfoJobs in Spain; Jooble, the world’s leading job listing aggregator, and Karriere.at, the leader in Austria. Profession.hu is looking to expand beyond Hungary; Redarbor is growing fast in Latin America - and might it buy InfoJobs in Spain? Two companies worth watching: IranTalent and XpressJobs in Sri Lanka.
