As job market grows, employers are beginning to put more emphasis on talent when hiring

Published 2 Min Read

After a booming jobs growth spurt in June, hiring slowed, but still grew overall in July. The U.S. economy added 209,000 jobs last month, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. And with that growth, many employees are becoming just as selective as employers have been in choosing their next career path.

As the economy strengthens, market demand for workforce analytics will continue to grow as well, as business leaders increasingly recognize that the right talent is critical to bringing business strategies to life, according to PricewaterhouseCoopers’ new Human Capital Effectiveness report: “Equally important is the ability to access and analyze the right information to support talent-related business decisions.”
