2023 Recap: A Turbulent Year with Significant M&A Changes in the HR Technology Market Our annual reporting on M&A in the HR technology space is one of our most popular pieces of content year after year (see our 2022 version here). We look at some of the many announcements that happen over the course of the year, flag some key ones, and identify any big trends that seem to appear across the landscape. 2023 was no different than recent years. It’s a perennial “trend” from the “experts” in the space that “we will see more consolidation.” That statement is about as safe as saying that summer in Texas will be hot this year. Shocker. What’s most exciting for us at Lighthouse is that many of these companies that are succeeding and shaking up the industry are also winners in the HR Tech Awards program (now accepting 2024 submissions), a clear indication that the judges in our program see significant value in what these firms are bringing to the market for their clients. If you’re an employer looking for the right technology so support your organization, don’t hesitate to reach out for our insights. Overall HR Tech M&A Trends and Insights A considerable amount of consolidation in the services space, which is a bit tangential to this analysis of HR technology but significant for the larger market. For instance, Arthur Gallagher & Co. acquired Buck in the benefits consulting and administration services space. We’re starting to see some of these benefits companies using their data in creative ways to identify health trends, provide analytics back to employers on their workforce, etc. WilsonHCG picked up Personify in the recruitment process outsourcing industry. Our 2023 RPO research is some of the most compelling in the world when it comes to RPO buyer insights and behaviors. Engage PEO acquired Zamp. Relatively small in the bigger scheme of things, but we’re planning some PEO research in 2024 to explore how PEO is evolving so we’re watching the space closely. Also seeing some interesting crossover as services companies buy technology firms to scale and differentiate their services as well as technology companies buying service providers to reach more clients and bring more data into their solutions. AI-based solutions require a lot of data to train the models, and if it’s structured properly, services companies are sitting on a ton of data that can be a competitive advantage. In the past month we’ve met with two different companies that started as services firms and built a technology that could take their intellectual property and scale it to more customers via a platform. The challenge with that is that services companies make money when they touch customer accounts and support them, but product/technology companies make money when they don’t have to touch customer accounts. It’s a difficult transition to make. Let’s take a look at some of the announcements over the last year. Key 2023 HR Technology Mergers and Acquisitions Talent Acquisition and Hiring Radancy, a global leader in recruiting with its Radancy Talent Cloud, acquired Brazen, a hiring event and communication platform and Ascendify, an enterprise-focused recruiting CRM. Lightcast, a labor market insights company created by the merger of Emsi and Burning Glass, acquired Gazelle, a provider of B2B intelligence. LiveHire, an HR Tech Award-winning hiring platform, acquired Arrived Workforce Connections to support growth in candidate reach and direct sourcing. Clovers acquired Talvista to bring two inclusive hiring solutions under one roof. Fama, an innovator in social media background screening and HR Tech Award-winning company, acquired Social Intelligence. Spark Hire, a video interviewing solution, acquired Chally, an assessment solution. Video-only screening providers are trailing off in favor of video + assessment solutions that can provide a more full (and unbiased) picture of what candidates are about. Spark Hire also merged with/acquired Comeet, an ATS solution. Veritone (Pandologic AI-driven programmatic recruiting solution) acquired Broadbean, a legacy recruiting technology provider. Intrigued by the depth and breadth of data this might offer to train the Veritone AI solutions under the hood. Appcast, a leader in programmatic recruiting technology, acquired Bayard Advertising. Hirevue acquired Modern Hire, an HR Tech Award-winning provider of video interview and hiring assessment solutions for enterprise employers.

Edenred acquired Reward Gateway, a rewards and recognition provider. Perceptyx acquired Humu, the “intelligent nudges” company made famous by its founder, former Google HR leader Lazlo Bock.

Learning and Talent Development This year we’re unveiling our new Learning Tech Awards program to focus more deeply on the sophisticated and robust technologies supporting talent development, employee growth, and skills intelligence across the industry. If you operate in this space, you won’t want to miss it. Docebo, a leader in the global LMS market, acquired Edugo.ai to increase its AI capabilities. Go1, a leader in global learning content, acquired Blinkist and Anders Pink. LMS365 acquired performance management solution Weekly10.

驾驭寒冬：为员工敬业度下降做好准备" "Forrester 预测 2024 年员工体验的寒流将来临 Forrester 的一位专家表示，公司“总体上对员工体验不太感兴趣”，因此很容易成为削减成本或偷工减料的目标。在大流行导致的人才短缺期间，在投资改善员工体验后，雇主普遍都在缩减开支，这可能会影响员工对工作的感受以及雇主的底线。 Forrester在其《2024 年预测：工作的未来》报告中发现，员工体验将在 2024 年退居二线，从而导致他们所谓的“EX 冬天”。（2023 年，员工和雇主的工作场所都充满了挑战。不幸的是，我们在 2024 年看到了更多同样的情况——员工体验 (EX) 全面衰退，雇主们不再关注这一点。EX 的商业案例仍然比以往任何时候都强大，但许多领导者仍然难以倾听员工的意见并将他们的担忧付诸行动。到 2024 年，我们还将看到人工智能在工作场所的崛起，其中对生成式人工智能的投资激增。在 EX 减少和 AI 增加的环境中提高生产力将是一个核心挑战。） Forrester 未来工作团队副总裁兼首席分析师 JP Gownder 表示，公司“总体上对员工体验不太感兴趣”，因此很容易成为削减成本或偷工减料的目标。提高参与度、生产力和最终增长的战略正在被取消。例如，Forrester 指出，从 2022 年到 2023 年，表示为内部 DEI 职能提供资金的雇主数量从受访者的三分之一下降到 27%；该公司预计，到 2024 年底，这一比例将进一步下降至 20%。他表示，一些公司将默认勾选一个复选框，表示他们已实现 DEI 目标，而不是真正为对员工产生影响的 DEI 计划提供资金。高德尔说，原因之一是劳动力市场不再那么紧张。“通常，当员工流失较多或工作进展不顺利而无法留住人才时，雇主会投资于员工体验，”他说，就像“大辞职”期间的情况一样。现在情况已不再是这样了。当公司“不那么迫切地想留住人才时，他们通常会在人才方面松开油门”。 Forrester 发现，他们可能会花钱，但可能不会以正确的方式花钱：66% 从事软件工作的技术决策者表示，他们将在 2024 年增加对 EX/人力资本管理软件的投资，但这些投资不会充分利用他们的优势。相反，Forrester 预测这些投资将提高人力资源职能的效率，而不是改善 EX 成果。员工体验的冬天将继续冻住员工 Forrester 表示，2022 年至 2023 年间，员工敬业度已经出现下滑，并将在 2024 年继续下滑。 2022 年至 2023 年间，美国员工敬业度从 48% 下降至 44%，文化能量从 69% 下降至 66%。Forrester 预测，到 2024 年，这些数字将分别下降至 39% 和 64%。 Gownder 表示，员工敬业度作为员工体验的衡量标准“对于生产力、创造力以及激发人们工作中的大部分兴趣和动力至关重要”。“如果你失去了这一点，那么人们就没有全力以赴，也没有充分利用他们的工作。” 他说，这损害了公司的整体利益。“当你取消对员工体验的投资，然后重新削减成本，并将员工仅仅视为资源而不是有价值的合作伙伴时，你的组织就会发现敬业度下降，因此其他事情也会下降。” Forrester表示，从2022年到2023年，员工参与度已经大幅下降，并将在2024年继续下降。从2022年到2023年，美国的员工参与度从48%下降到44%，文化活力从69%下降到66%。Forrester预测，到2024年，这些数字将分别下降到39%和64%。在别人盲目跟随时保持独立思考 Gownder补充说，并非所有都失去了。通过反其道而行之，保持积极的投入，可以避免EX的冬天。这意味着要真正投入与员工的互动，而不是削减成本或依赖于虚假的检查清单。他说：“员工体验论断指出，投资于员工，在以人为中心的体验中提高参与度，降低流失率，提高生产力，也会让客户更加满意，因为快乐的员工会带来快乐的客户。” 他说，对于那些将继续投资于员工体验的公司，他们还应该衡量和理解员工对这些投资的感受。“这两件事往往是相辅相成的。” 而听力部分常常被抛在后面。Forrester 在报告中发现，只有 31% 的业务和技术专业人士认为改善员工体验是首要任务，同时也认为收集员工反馈是他们为提升员工体验而采取的一项关键行动。Forrester 预计到 2024 年这一比例将增至 34%。原文访问：https://www.hrdive.com/news/is-an-employee-experience-winter-coming/701428/

Hiring Trends 2024: For Tech And Digital Global Employers ANWESHA ROY 8 MINUTE READ The hiring landscape has gone through a lot of fluctuations in the last two years. The United States and the European Union (EU) fell into recession, triggering widespread panic amongst tech and digital companies. Businesses had to lay off a large chunk of their workforce as a cost-cutting measure, some even freezing hiring temporarily. Fast-paced digital agencies and startups understood that they needed a flexible hiring approach to adapt to these circumstances. They realized that hiring remote talents from offshore locations like LatAm, East EU, East Asia, and India was a viable way to grow their workforce. Recruiters soon realized that they needed to prioritize both skills and cultural adaptability while looking for remote talents. Hiring platforms emerged as the helping hand in this matter, with their comprehensive solutions geared to deliver a fast and reliable hiring experience. In this blog, we will discuss these developments and other hiring trends for 2024, and the job roles that will grow in the near future. Hiring Trends That Will Define 2024 Adaptable hiring strategies will help tackle the talent shortage Remote hiring for remote positions is here to stay Skill-based hiring will gain more prominence India’s rising talent pool to meet global needs Talent expectations from global employers are changing Organizations will look for culture-fit talents Emergence of hiring platforms Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will play a crucial role in optimizing the hiring process 1. Adaptable hiring strategies will help tackle the talent shortage By 2030, the global tech talent shortage will rise to 85.2 million, leading to a massive loss in revenue. Global employers will be more careful and strategic when hiring in 2024. The demand-supply gap of skilled tech and digital talents is growing every year, which means startups have to work harder to onboard the best talents. They will also look to hire remote talents from offshore locations to upscale as per their budget and resources. 2. Remote hiring for remote positions is here to stay In 2023, tech and digital startups have to deal with the growing tech talent shortage amidst a precarious global economic scenario. Remote hiring is the most viable solution for these organizations, as they can easily access skilled and cost-effective talents across the globe, with a faster hiring process. Even companies following on-site or hybrid workstyles are hiring certain roles remotely, due to its benefits. contract hiring – uncertain economic conditions are compelling companies to hire full-time long-term contractual employees for flexibility and scalability. Global employers are also open to long-term contractual engagements for full-time employees, to ensure flexibility and scalability. The number of startups hiring remotely has grown from 900 in 2019, 2,500 in 2020, and 14,000+ in 2022. With a growing number of talents preferring remote workstyle, companies will be able to retain their top talents by setting up distributed teams instead of strictly adhering to local hiring. 3. Skill-based hiring will gain more prominence 92.5% of companies have seen a reduction in their mis-hire rate when implementing skills-based hiring, with 44% reporting a decrease of more than 25%. Going ahead, the qualification of a candidate will be defined by their hard and soft skills, and not just their education and work experience. Technical skills, problem-solving abilities, leadership, adaptability, and more will be closely evaluated by companies. A study shows that hiring for skills is five times more predictive of job performance than hiring for work experience. To drive this initiative, startups will rely on vetting tools and integrate them within their hiring process. The assessment will be tailor-made for tech and digital roles to aid in finding the most suitable talent. Furthermore, startups have to drop degree requirements from job descriptions and become more specific about the capabilities they are looking for. 4. India’s rising talent pool to meet global needs Contrary to the talent crisis across the globe, India is generating tech and digital talents consistently in large numbers. Their tech talent pool has grown by 120% in the last five years, with two million STEM graduates every year. The country also has a surplus of 2.5 million digital talents, presenting a great opportunity for global employers. The average salaries of Indian talents is lower than that of US, EU, and AUS talents, which means global companies can hire equally or better-skilled professionals at a lesser cost. India also has a wide network of talents specializing in emerging technologies. The number of Indian AI experts on LinkedIn has grown by 14x in the last seven years, the 5th fastest growth after Singapore, Finland, Ireland, and Canada. These reasons have helped India become the most preferred talent-sourcing hub in the world. 5. Talent expectations from global employers are changing The global labor market is very tight and the talents have an upper hand in deciding their next employer. To remain competitive, startups have to reexamine their hiring strategies and cater to what the top talents are looking for. A study reveals that top Indian remote talents want better pay, good work-life balance, and prospects of career growth while choosing an employer. Before hiring from India, global employers have to prepare an offer that fulfills the expectations of these talents. 6. Organizations will look for culture-fit talents Technical proficiency makes a candidate qualified for the job role, but a cultural fitment aligns makes them the perfect addition to the organization. Both large-scale companies and startups need talents who take initiative, have a positive attitude, and handle situations in a non-confrontational manner. Such skills will uphold the work environment and promote a healthy culture. An org-culture fit talent will be more engaged and satisfied with their job than just a skilled professional. Finding and hiring culture-fit professionals also impacts the retention rates, as a study shows that 73% of talents have left a job due to poor cultural fitment. 7. Emergence of hiring platforms According to a 2022 survey by Upwork, 50% of businesses outsource at least some of their work. Of those businesses that outsource, 38% use hiring platforms to find freelancers and contractors. Another report reveals that 48% of companies are planning to increase their use of hiring platforms for offshoring in the next two years. Hiring platforms offer a number of advantages to businesses, including access to a large pool of skilled and experienced freelancers and contractors, the ability to scale their workforce up or down as needed, and cost savings on labor costs. They also help in vetting candidates to find the right technical and cultural fit, helping in making an informed hiring decision. With their end-to-end solutions, hiring platforms help both fast-paced businesses and enterprises in upscaling confidently within a short period of time. 8. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) will play a crucial role in optimizing the hiring process 44% of recruiters find AI useful in shortening the hiring cycle, which is the main priority, 32% found it a good way to cut down overhead costs, and 24% found it helpful in identifying the right talents. Studies suggest that it takes 29 to 66 days to fill tech-based vacancies, which is a very long hiring cycle for startups. In a fast-paced environment with constant deadlines, open roles must be filled as quickly as possible. As time is of the essence, startups are beginning to leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) in their hiring process. By reducing the time to hire, small-scale startups are also able to cut down overhead and operational costs. In fact, AI/ML have helped companies in North America cut down their costs by 40%, in Europe by 36%, and in the APAC region by 25%. Application Tracking System (ATS) is also being used by startups to ensure a seamless hiring process. The ATS is useful in organizing applications, managing communications, and tracking the status of candidature. 99% of Fortune 500 Global companies are using ATS for an elevated hiring experience and short cycle, so why shouldn’t startups? After all, it oversees all the tedious processes in hiring, so managers can focus their energy on decision-making and other important tasks. Region-wise Job Roles Which Will Grow In Demand in 2024 United States Europe Australia According to a survey by NASSCOM, future skills demand is expected to grow to 3.5-3.7 million by 2024, rising from the present 1.2-1.3 million currently employed by the industry. Building on that, here are a few predicted jobs that will be in demand in the next few years, sorted region-wise. United States The United States is leading the world in next-gen technology, which reflects in their plans to hire more cloud engineers, machine learning engineers, data scientists, and salesforce developers. The digital sector is also growing at an average of 8.5% CAGR, and the startups are looking to hire more web developers, ad specialists, UI/UX designers, and digital marketing managers. Europe European tech startups will focus increasingly on their core services and hire more front-end developers, DevOps engineers, and blockchain developers. Similarly, digital companies will look for PHP developers, web developers, and digital marketing managers. SaaS-based startups in the EU will focus on building next-gen products and user privacy, which is why they will hire more product managers, customer success managers, and security engineers. Australia Despite fears of recession, Australian tech startups are focussing on resilient hiring to support their services. They will look to onboard more back-end developers, database administrators, and systems engineers. In the digital sector, SEO specialists, web analytics specialists, and digital sales representatives will be in demand. SaaS-based startups in the country will focus on better customer service by hiring account executives, customer success managers, and e-commerce managers. Jobs created by AI to look out for in 2024 Prompt Engineer Prompt engineers are experts in designing and developing AI-generated text prompts for improving the AI prompt generation process for several applications. They use data analysis and programming skills to deliver an elevated user experience in tech and SaaS products. AI Trainer AI trainers are responsible for teaching AI systems how to think and interact with users. They work with the development team to ensure the chatbots and virtual assistants respond to customer queries and resolve them effectively. These experts have a strong background in data science, natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning. AI Auditor AI auditors evaluate the safety, legality, and ethics of AI systems so they can be put to good use. They review codes, conduct data analysis, and test the systems to ensure the system does not produce biased or discriminatory responses. Machine Managers Machine managers oversee the AI-operated hardware and systems, and ensure everything is intact for peak performance. They are responsible for the efficient operation and minimum downtime of AI tools, making them indispensable for the tech sector. Final Thoughts The secret to success in talent acquisition is to identify the trends, adapt your strategy, and prepare for the future. It is important to constantly monitor the ever-changing hiring landscape to build a productive workforce for the long run. As we enter 2024, the major focus for global employers will be on identifying the best candidates for the role and leveraging digital tools for a smarter process. Digital agencies also have to offer what talents seek in their employer in order to improve their chance of hiring the best candidates. By aligning these hiring trends in advance, global recruiters like digital agencies, IT services companies, and SaaS-based tech companies can stay ahead of the curve and hire methodically.
