We’re over half way through 2026 and hiring hasn’t stopped – it has become much more intentional.
Organizations are taking a closer look at every open position, focusing on candidates who bring the right mix of technical expertise, adaptability, and problem-solving skills. At the same time, many employers are continuing to face talent shortages, particularly in specialized and hard-to-fill roles.
According to SHRM’s 2026 Talent Trends Report, nearly 70% of HR professionals are still experiencing challenges recruiting for full-time positions, while many organizations are investing more heavily in upskilling, internal mobility, and skills-based hiring to close talent gaps.
A strong hiring partner can make all the difference. Beyond filling open positions, the right partner helps you build a proactive talent pipeline, shorten time-to-hire, navigate changing market conditions, and secure the people who will help your business finish the year strong.
Whether you’re planning for growth, replacing critical talent, or preparing for 2027, having a recruiting strategy in place today can put you ahead tomorrow. If you’re thinking about your hiring needs for the rest of the year, the King & Bishop team is here to help you build the talent strategy that sets your organization up for success.
