""Traditional hiring cannot keep pace with demand for AI, cloud, and cybersecurity talent," said Graig Paglieri, chief executive at Randstad Digital. "Companies are increasingly relying on global freelancers and digital nomads -- a talent pool expected to grow from 50 million today to more than 60 million by 2030.""
""Hybrid work isn't a perk anymore," said David Maffei, senior VP and general manager for the Americas at Staffbase. "It's how people stay productive and connected. When you pitch it that way, the conversation lands much better.""
Pressure to return to in-person offices increased between 2023 and 2025, with the share of hybrid workers going into the office four days weekly rising from 23% to 34%. Employee expectations favor flexibility: 37% would reject a job without flexible hours, 34% would not accept full-time office requirements, and 30% need location freedom. Some large employers, including Dell, Goldman Sachs, and Google, have instituted return-to-office mandates. Organizations are competing for high-end tech talent while traditional hiring struggles to meet AI, cloud, and cybersecurity demand. Companies are increasingly using global freelancers and digital nomads, a talent pool projected to grow to over 60 million by 2030. Framing hybrid work as essential for productivity and connection can improve management buy-in.
