Software engineering recruitment is shifting as we move into 2025, with 57% of tech hiring managers setting their sights on expansion in the year ahead.

How can you be certain that your organization is ready to bring in new talent? And if the time is right, how do you make the best possible hiring decisions to ensure long-term success?
