Some workforce insights stood out: 📊 66.8% of tech leaders say budget constraints are their biggest hiring challenge. 📊 Over 70% say keeping up with salary expectations is becoming a major retention issue. 📊 Yet 35% of companies reported spending more than €20,000 on a single bad hire, with some exceeding €100,000. The conversation around compensation is changing. Because the real cost is often not salary alone.
