In 2025, the recruitment landscape continues to evolve, with AI integration and digital proficiency becoming more critical than ever. Organisations are prioritising automation, process optimisation, and AI-powered customer interactions to drive efficiency. Nearly half of business support professionals highlighted AI-assisted content creation, process automation, and chatbot management as emerging priorities, reflecting the sector’s rapid digital transformation. As a result, candidates with strong adaptability to AI-driven tools are in higher demand.

While customer satisfaction remains the top priority at 70%, there is a notable rise in strategic initiatives such as automating admin processes (50%) and supporting leadership with insights (47%). The demand for transferable skills remains high at 70%, reinforcing the shift toward versatile talent. However, tenure rates indicate a slight increase in short-term employment, with 23% of employees staying less than two years, compared to 18% last year, likely reflecting a challenging job market.

Flexible working arrangements remain stable, with 77% of businesses making no changes, up from 70% in 2024. Hiring trends indicate a cautious approach, with customer service and admin roles remaining in demand. As businesses adapt to AI-driven efficiencies, the focus in 2025 is on balancing automation with human-centric skills to maintain engagement and service quality.
