Why Employers Have the Leverage Again : 2025 Hiring Trends With Bill Kasko| Jake & Gino show
Want a clear read on 2025 Hiring Trends from someone who’s placed talent nationwide for 20+ years? Frontline Source Group CEO Bill Kasko joins Jake & Gino to unpack the real shifts behind AI, return-to-office, and why employers reclaimed leverage since late 2024.
We break down how the market flipped post-September 2024 and what that means for offers, counteroffers, and retention. Bill explains why workforce participation, aging demographics, and the gig economy reshaped recruiting—and how AI is speeding up that evolution without replacing the “human touch.” You’ll learn how companies are cutting costs via tech (think VOIP vs. receptionists), why average tenure keeps shrinking, and how 2025 Hiring Trends favor organizations with tight communication, culture, and training—whether remote, hybrid, or in-office. We also hit budget cycles, the H-1B conversation for tech skills, and what could re-ignite growth if rates pull back. If you’re hiring—or job-hunting—this is your roadmap to 2025 Hiring Trends.
