The top motivator for job seekers in 2021, 2022, and 2023 was the desire to work remotely from home more often than their current employer allowed. In 2021, 75% of offers accepted required three or fewer days in an office, but 80% of that 75% were fully remote. In 2022, 87% of jobs were hybrid three days or fewer, but only 69% of those jobs were fully remote. In 2023, hybrid employment accelerated to 90% of offers accepted, but the amount of those roles that were 100% remote dropped dramatically to 32% (see Figure 1). With significantly fewer fully remote positions available in 2023, active job seekers were faced with the question of whether to begin considering compromises on work-from-home flexibility or compromise in other areas like compensation, vertical mobility, quality of life, or employment modality.The Perfect Storm: Why Contract Hiring In Privacy Will Eclipse Direct Hiring
