Job seekers are getting hired faster-for these careers in particular

"The job search company's latest quarterly survey of U.S. workers who started their job within the last six months suggests Americans are getting more comfortable with the uncertainty in today's job market. Also, they are more likely to remain at their current positions (tending toward so-called job hugging), leading new employees to take a "more cautious and strategic approach to their career moves.""

"As job and wage growth have slowed, new hires face more competition and fewer opportunities to transition to "bigger and better" roles than their peers did over the past few years. As a result, new hires are taking their time to find jobs that meet their long-term needs-from flexibility to culture to better benefits-before hunkering down in new positions. Another interesting finding: 54.4% of new hires stopped their job search after they landed a new role-up from 48.1% last quarter."

ZipRecruiter surveyed 1,500 new hires and found job seekers are being hired more quickly while submitting fewer applications than earlier this year. New employees show increased comfort with labor-market uncertainty and greater tendency to remain in positions, prompting a cautious, strategic approach to career moves. Slower job and wage growth has increased competition and reduced upward mobility, so new hires prioritize long-term fit, flexibility, culture and benefits before committing. 54.4% stopped searching after landing a role, up from 48.1% the prior quarter. More than half moved only once in two years, and 45.9% plan to stay at least three years.
