Identifying industry trends is critical for staffing firm leaders, so ASA has done the research and analysis on behalf of its members by compiling a list of the top 10 trends in staffing for 2025—which include artificial intelligence and automation, employee experience, and market consolidation.

Join thought leaders in the industry to learn about these trends and get prepared for the year ahead by learning how they will affect the industry in 2025—and specifically how they will affect your business goals and future growth—during the ASA webinar “2025 Staffing Trends: Projections and Reflections From Industry Leaders.” It takes place Thursday, Jan. 23, 2–3 p.m. Eastern time.

All ASA webinars are free for ASA members, and most qualify for continuing education hours toward ASA certification renewal. To learn more and to register, visit americanstaffing.net.

When hiring managers ask questions during a job interview, they’re essentially asking a candidate to provide what they think the answer should be—not what they would actually do. Instead of hypothetical questions in interviews, ask candidates behavioral questions (which focus on past actions) to gain deeper insights and make more effective hiring decisions. In the latest issue of Staffing Success magazine, Tom Erb, CSP, discusses why and how to use behavioral interview questions to uncover candidates’ potential.
