Experts at Gartner recently listed quiet hiring as one of the top workforce trends for 2023. According to Emily Rose McRae, Sr. Director of Research at Gartner, “Quiet hiring is when an organization acquires new skills without actually hiring new full-time employees.”   

The rise of quiet hiring is not just a response to the pandemic. It is part of a broader trend toward more personalized and targeted hiring. Employers are increasingly using data analytics, social media, and other tools to identify and attract the right candidates for their specific needs, rather than relying on generic job postings or mass hiring campaigns.
