Lift Your Hiring Strategy into High Gear in 2025

It’s a brand-new year, and your 2025 strategic objectives are calling for fresh talent. But let’s face it—finding great people is tough.

Are your candidates dropping off after the first interview? Are open roles lingering too long?

Consider this: the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) reports that the average time-to-fill a non-executive position is around 44 days, with a mean of 54 days (Forbes). Meanwhile, Appcast/DHI data shows that by July 2025, the average vacancy duration had climbed to 58 days—a 35% increase over 2024 (The Big Job).

Why does that matter? Because top-tier candidates aren’t staying on the market that long—and many are juggling multiple offers.
