Green shoots appearing?

It seems that in the wake of a number of global trade deals being finalised, companies are now seeing a higher degree of stability and are able to make clearer decisions, especially regarding senior-level hiring. 

 

During the first 6 months of 2025, we saw consistent, strong demand for senior financial and operational candidates, possibly to enable companies to better navigate the uncertainty, but we are now seeing a recent surge in demand for commercial, digital, data and technology talent at senior levels.

 

While challenges in the market still exist and geopolitical uncertainty is high, many firms are clearly deciding to bet on growth and kick off hiring processes that were previously being kept on long-term hold. 

 

Whether this trend continues is anyone’s guess, and a number of unpredictable factors could change market conditions at a moment’s notice, which is why our business model is ideally suited to this type of situation. With a 5-day guarantee of interested and relevant candidates for any position and a fee only on successful placement, TXT greatly reduces the risk involved in launching a senior-level hiring process, allowing our clients to speculatively evaluate candidates with no delay and no financial exposure.

 

Our no-fee Board mapping and placement service can also add significant firepower to Board / Chair searches, enabling our clients to expand their contact networks, add diversity, and line up candidates even when there may not be a concrete or approved hiring requisition.
