In addition, through our survey, we were able to uncover significant trends shaping today’s job market, including:
- 84% of professionals are open to switching roles in the next 12 months.
- Candidates expect a 10–20% salary increase when changing jobs.
- Workplace flexibility (work from home and flexible hours) is now more desirable than traditional perks.
- While bonus/commission structures remain important, they’re outranked by career progression and L&D opportunities.
- Salary growth plateaus at senior levels unless accompanied by title progression.
What Candidates Want Most in 2025
According to our research:
- Work from Home – 71% value this highly
- Flexible Hours – 66% cite it as a priority
- Bonus/Commission – Still important, but not the main driver
- Career Progression – Essential for long-term retention
- Learning & Development – Especially among early to mid-career professionals
These findings highlight a clear shift: culture and flexibility matter just as much as compensation.
Why Employees Are Leaving Roles
Key motivators for change include:
- Poor workplace environment or culture (21%)
- Job instability (18%)
- Stagnant salary packages (15%)
- “Other” (41%) – often linked to lack of growth or flexibility
This suggests that employers must compete on more than salary to retain top talent.
