The latest hiring forecasts for the coming months show that the Polish job market isn’t slowing down, but the game rules are changing. Companies say they want to hire, but they do it carefully and selectively. Recruitment in 2025 is not only about filling vacancies but also about transforming the skills within organizations.
What’s worth knowing?
31% of companies in Poland plan to recruit in the next months, but as many as 47% don’t expect any changes in staff.
The energy sector and IT are leaders in recruitment optimism.
The Center and North regions lead in hiring activity, while the East and South are more cautious.
What drives new hiring?
Organizational growth, technological changes, and expansion to new markets. Companies are increasingly looking for candidates with unique skills - both hard and soft - ready to work in dynamic environments.
What slows down the process?
Economic challenges, automation, and skill mismatches with market needs. Employers combine roles, simplify structures, and optimize teams — meaning every recruitment must be thoughtful and precise.
Takeaways for employers?
➡ The fight for talent is on and will get tougher.
➡ Retaining key employees will become as important as finding new ones.
➡ Investing in team development and flexible work arrangements can give a competitive edge.
Takeaways for candidates?
➡ Time to develop new skills and stay flexible in your career.
➡ Experience matters, but today it’s also about being ready to change, learn fast, and work in complex environments.
