PEG Staffing & Recruiting Unveils Hiring Trends That Will Shape Future Recruitment
St. Louis, MO, July 28, 2025- PEG Staffing & Recruiting, a leader in the staffing and recruiting industry, has released some of the top recruitment trends set to define hiring practices. With rapid shifts in technology and candidate expectations, PEG Staffing & Recruiting is helping employers prepare for a more inclusive and digital future of work.
Here are some of the key developments HR leaders should prepare for:
- Soft Skills Will Outweigh Hard Credentials
With automation and AI handling many technical tasks, interpersonal skills like communication, adaptability, and leadership will be top hiring criteria. Resumes will take a backseat to behavior-based screening.
- Remote-First Workplaces Drive Global Talent Access
More companies will adopt remote-first or hybrid models, opening the door to talent pools across borders. Hiring strategies will shift from “local best” to “global best”.
- AI-Powered Talent Matching Becomes Mainstream
Artificial intelligence will move from a perk to necessity in the hiring process. Predictive algorithms will help recruiters identify ideal candidates faster and with greater precision, significantly reducing time-to-fill metrics.
- Contract and Project-Based Hiring Surges
As businesses adapt to economic uncertainty, short-term hiring and project-based engagements will rise. This shift will require better systems for onboarding, compliance, and workforce integration.
