Following the publication of Radford’s Q4 2017 Workforce Trends Report for technology companies, our team examined hiring plans and turnover rates across the world’s major economies, including Brazil, China, India, Germany, Russia, the UK and the US. This quarter’s data continues to show mixed signals as the prevalence of firms reporting aggressive hiring plans is up and down across the globe. However, despite scaling back on aggressive hiring, voluntary turnover is up in all countries relative to last quarter, and forecasts predict strong growth in 2018.
