March Insight 1

Based on HRCap's recent market research with Candidate feedback and LinkedIn data, we observed the preference for onsite, hybrid, and remote WFH models among the multigenerational bilingual candidate pool in the U.S. as of February 2023. While we hypothesized a strong preference for hybrid and WFH options across the candidate pool, the preferences were evenly distributed across the 3 work set-ups. Interestingly, more candidates were open to working onsite rather than being in a fully remote work environment. As expected, hybrid workplace was the strongest preference at 35.71% among 378,000 candidates. Gen Z and Gen Y made up close to 90% of the 135,000 candidates who believed they were most engaged and productive in a hybrid work set-up. 11% of Gen X candidates also most preferred a hybrid environment, gaining increasing comfort with digital transformation and evolving workforce needs. As such, we encourage organizations to properly onboard and develop a multigenerational workforce with greater digital literacy skills to maintain productivity levels amid work format shifts.
