While both job seekers and employers alike face their own set of challenges, these changes can also bring about opportunities to adapt and innovate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the webinar, &#8220;<strong>Navigating the 2025 Canadian Job Market \u2014 Insights from Indeed\u2019s Senior Economist,<\/strong>&#8221; Indeed\u2019s Brendon Bernard shares insights about the labour landscape and offers key takeaways for employers to consider as they look to hire in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-state-of-the-canadian-labour-market\">The state of the Canadian labour market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canadian labour market is shifting. While the unemployment rate, standing at 6.6 per cent as of February, is not exceptionally high by historical standards, it\u2019s not the same job seeker\u2019s market it was right after the pandemic (when unemployment was a record low at 5.0 per cent). This is a sign that job seekers are facing a more competitive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Employers, meanwhile, are noticing a shift in who is applying for roles. While non-permanent residents, foreign students and people on temporary foreign work visas had been leading the surge in population growth, changes to immigration policy are reshaping recruitment patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, different sectors are reacting differently to influencing factors. Accommodation and food services roles continue to lag, while white-collar jobs, such as marketing, accounting, and engineering roles, are growing rapidly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tariffs, unsurprisingly, add another dimension to an already nuanced and complex Canadian labour market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As business owners are well aware, disruption can lead to both challenges and opportunities. Finding the right people for your business may look different in 2025, but knowing the trends and influences can help you attract the workers you need to thrive. Bernard walks through top trends that may affect the way you post, recruit and hire in today\u2019s environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-insights-for-employers-to-consider-in-2025\">5 insights for employers to consider in 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-economic-uncertainty-is-causing-some-hesitation\">1. Economic uncertainty is causing some hesitation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Uncertainty is nothing new for Canadian business owners, but in 2025, tariffs have emerged as a leading source. \u201cThe Canadian economy is understandably very vulnerable to these moves,\u201d says Bernard, noting that the unpredictability of tariffs is affecting the job market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Recruitment, Bernard explains, is inherently forward-looking, and growing uncertainty is making it harder for businesses to plan ahead. \u201cWe\u2019ve started to see manufacturing job postings slip, and mining postings are a little more volatile,\u201d he says. \u201cAs two sectors that sell to the U.S., they\u2019re understandably more exposed to the immediate impacts of tariffs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-degree-inflation-is-narrowing-the-field\">2. Degree inflation is narrowing the field<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another trend the Indeed team is seeing is degree inflation in the market. \u201cWe are seeing postings for jobs that require a bachelor\u2019s or master\u2019s degree when previously, this was not a requirement,\u201d says&nbsp;Alexandra Tillo, Talent Marketing Consultant at Indeed. While an advanced degree is necessary for certain roles (e.g., in healthcare), the Indeed team encourages employers to consider whether a post-secondary degree is a prerequisite. \u201cWe are seeing very qualified candidates facing this barrier when they didn\u2019t before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For employers struggling to find the right candidates, loosening such requirements may increase the recruitment pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-pay-remains-a-top-priority-for-job-seekers\">3. Pay remains a top priority for job seekers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While wage growth skyrocketed immediately following the pandemic, Indeed Hiring Lab&#8217;s tracking reveals that year-over-year wage&nbsp;growth has settled down, running at roughly 2.8 per cent&nbsp;today (versus&nbsp;5 per cent&nbsp;at its peak). Still, higher pay remains a top motivator for job seekers. \u201cWhen we ask employed job seekers what they are looking for in a new job, higher pay always tops the list,\u201d says Bernard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To that end, an increasing number of employers are including pay information in their job postings. \u201cFive years ago, it was maybe one in five. Now, it\u2019s about half,\u201d says Bernard. He cites B.C.\u2019s mandate for salary transparency as a major driver of this shift, but not the only one. \u201cWe\u2019ve seen this trend across the economy and in the world of HR. It\u2019s information job seekers care about \u2014 they want to know whether it\u2019s worth their time to apply.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other factors, such as the quality of the workplace, a sense of belonging, and the quality of managers, are important for talent attraction and retention. Bernard notes that these are crucial considerations for employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-location-flexibility-remains-attractive\">4. Location flexibility remains attractive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been considerable talk about return-to-office across the economy. But Bernard notes that the Indeed team isn\u2019t seeing full-time return as a trend. Instead, a hybrid model remains popular. In fact, roughly&nbsp;14 per cent&nbsp;of job postings&nbsp;mention either remote or hybrid work,&nbsp;and in job-seeker surveys, Indeed found that&nbsp;88 per cent of workers say they will look for jobs offering flexibility in hours and location when searching for a new position. \u201cThe job doesn\u2019t have to be remote. But location flexibility is still an important part of the job market. It\u2019s a trend that I think is here to stay,\u201d says Bernard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-ai-isn-t-playing-a-major-role-yet\">5. AI isn\u2019t playing a major role (yet)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Generative AI is causing both stress and opportunity in the workforce. When it comes to hiring, however, Indeed isn\u2019t seeing AI appear in any meaningful way within job postings. \u201cIt\u2019s pretty rare that employers are explicitly asking for AI experience or saying it will be a major part of the job,\u201d says Bernard. While AI tools may be helping individual workers become more productive with certain tasks, he notes, they haven\u2019t yet altered the workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-bottom-line\">Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While the Canadian workforce faces uncertainty in 2025, this shifting landscape also presents opportunities for both employers and job seekers who are ready to grow. Emerging trends are already reshaping the talent market, offering employers new ways to find the right people to succeed in the year ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: Indeed\u00a0<a
