Program Description

Build your workforce with data-driven hiring strategies for accounting & finance, technology & digital, and HR & Operations.

Hiring decisions are more complex this year. Market signals are mixed, skill needs are shifting, and leaders are being asked to do more with fewer resources. 

Join Vaco by Highspring for a CPE webinar that breaks down what the latest labor market data really means for your hiring plans, where organizations are adapting, and how to build a workforce strategy that supports growth through Q4 and into 2027. You’ll leave with clear, data-backed takeaways you can apply to headcount decisions, talent strategy, and budget planning.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session, you will be able to:

  • Interpret key labor and economic indicators, including BLS releases, and apply them to near-term hiring decisions.
  • Identify how organizations of different sizes are adapting, including risk areas such as fraudulent hires and evolving AI-related roles.
  • Evaluate flexible workforce solutions, including contract staffing and direct hire approaches, and understand when to consider nearshoring or outsourcing.
  • Build a data-informed hiring plan for Q4 and 2027 that prioritizes critical skills, mitigates risk, and aligns with business goals.
