December 8, 2023, Cleveland, OH —AMS, the global talent solutions business responds to latest US Bureau of Labor Market statistics. In November, the US economy added 199,000 new jobs, with the unemployment rate dipping down to 3.7 percent, showing steady growth heading into 2024.

Commenting on the latest statistics Nicky Hancock, Managing Director, Americas Region at AMS said: “As we close out 2023 and head into a new year, AMS is preparing for the innovation that the next 12 months will bring to talent professionals.  While the world of talent is still experiencing both transformational changes and economic impacts, it is promising to see organizations looking to leveraging skills and AI on their roadmap to attracting new hires.

We are seeing ongoing momentum particularly in the areas of technology and automation for industries such as professional services, industrial, retail and consumer sectors. As the discussion around AI evolves, there will be more focus on how companies can use AI, what they should be doing regarding regulations and how they should be using it to drive efficiency.

We have seen a lot of discussion around talent pipelining and scalability with talent teams wanting to be responsive to hiring fluctuation. In addition, we have seen a focus around recognizing gaps in talent technology and when and where to augment products. Moving forward into 2024, it will be of key focus for talent acquisition departments leveraging RPOs to keep up with a more modernized and tech-forward hiring experience to benefit both candidates and their internal teams.”
