Coderbyte and JOON collaborated to publish The 2023 State of Hiring report based on our survey of 220+ hiring managers and HR teams. It’s chock-full of insights:

  • The End of Musical Chairs | The vast majority of respondents’ companies intend to keep their current work arrangements, with 42% planning to stay fully or mostly remote, 26% planning to stay about 50/50 hybrid, and 12% planning to stay fully or mostly in-office.
  • Self-Fulfilling Diversity | About half of respondents’ companies set goals for workforce diversity. Of the ones that set goals, 57% reporting having met or exceeded their goals, 33% reported almost meeting goals, and just 10% didn’t come close.
  • The Great Reversion | While tech layoffs get a lot of media attention, our survey responses highlighted two interesting points: (i) layoffs were as common amongst tech (18%) and non-tech companies (18%), and (ii) a small minority of tech companies (6%) actually net downsized by 20%+ in the past 12 months.
  • Crossing the Chasm | While 75% of respondents reported using tools for Learning & Development, only 23% report using tools to administer wellness or lifestyle benefits and 34% use tools to track employee engagement.
