The world of work is evolving and so is the talent that we hire.
Between the transition to hybrid and remote work and the increase in automation and AI, career paths will fundamentally change. According to a report from the World Economic Forum, 65 per cent of children entering primary school today will eventually work in jobs that don’t yet exist.
