What’s happening in the labor market?

The U.S. labor market in 2026 is being described as a “low-hire, low-fire” market. Unemployment remains relatively low at around 4.1%–4.2%, but hiring and job-switching have slowed. [1, 2]

• Stable unemployment: Layoffs remain relatively low.
• Slower hiring: Payroll growth has slowed significantly compared with prior years. [1]
• Low quit rate: Workers are holding onto their current positions, with voluntary quits staying below 2%.

Hiring Resources

So, what can you do to stand out and win talent?

1. Follow job board best practices.

   Start with CareerPlug’s Job Board Best Practices Help Center article.
   

   A few additional tips:

   • Use Indeed’s Find Salaries tool to check salary averages for similar roles in your area. Make sure the high end of your salary range is no more than 1.5x the low end.
   • More than 65% of job applicants apply from a mobile device, and they may not have a resume handy.

   ⭐ Consider making resumes optional. Instead, set up pre-screen questions to help weed out applicants who don’t meet your requirements and identify qualified candidates. You can always ask for a resume later in the process. This can save you time reviewing applications while making it easier for candidates to apply.

   • Set up automation in CareerPlug to save time and help you stay responsive to candidates in the background.

2. Don’t have CareerPlug yet?
