He explains why both employers and candidates are moving more cautiously, how AI is reshaping—not replacing—roles, and why upskilling and adaptability are more important than ever.
Thomas also highlights which skills are most in demand right now—from security to analytics—and gives practical advice for candidates navigating interviews and building networks. Plus, he offers a preview of Robert Half’s upcoming Salary Guide, a must-have resource for anyone hiring or job hunting in tech.
