"The latest Vaco by Highspring Talent Pulse Report mirrors the conversations we’re having with our clients, where concerns about job security, financial stability, and career growth are becoming more pronounced. Across industries, leaders are noticing a shift in employee sentiment, with more professionals expressing uncertainty about their future. Hiring managers are navigating a talent market that’s increasingly cautious as job seekers weigh their options more carefully.

At Vaco by Highspring, we view this shift as an opportunity for employers to focus on retention strategies, transparent communication, and career development initiatives. While the numbers point to a decline in workforce confidence, they also present a clear path for organizations to build trust, strengthen engagement, and support their teams in meaningful ways.”
