As 2024 comes to a close, businesses are looking ahead to 2025 with new challenges on the horizon. Interim management is emerging as a key solution to tackle these challenges effectively. Why should your company consider hiring temporary executives or interim managers next year? Here are 10 essential reasons:

Rapid growth is a critical stage in the life of any SME, bringing with it new challenges, particularly in talent management. Securing major contracts, entering new markets, or developing strategic projects require an internal structure aligned with expansion needs. In this context, the HR department becomes a fundamental pillar, but how can you manage it without incurring high costs while maintaining the flexibility that today’s environment demands?

Expanding into new markets is a strategic goal for many companies, but conducting talent selection processes abroad without a local team can be a risky endeavor. Companies with international operations face unique challenges when attempting to manage these processes remotely. To ensure effective hiring, it is essential to understand the risks of recruiting in foreign countries and how to mitigate these obstacles intelligently and strategically.

77% of survey respondents highlight unqualified hires as the greatest risk of skipping background checks, while only 13% point to reputational damage. However, reputational risk can be far more critical than it seems, especially when hiring for strategic roles.

2024 has marked a year of extraordinary achievements for Servitalent in international recruitment.

In recent years, generative artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved from a futuristic concept into an essential tool for optimizing business processes. However, many companies remain focused on pilot programs and theoretical applications, while real-world demands call for tangible results and operational improvements.

At Servitalent, we’ve integrated generative AI into our daily operations, optimizing talent management to increase team efficiency and deliver real added value to our clients.

In the industrial sector, access to housing has become a critical yet often underestimated factor in talent acquisition.

As consultants specializing in the industrial sector, we frequently encounter what is commonly referred to as the "last mile": attracting qualified talent is just the first step. The real challenge arises when these professionals face barriers like high living costs, especially in cities or regions where our clients operate. This challenge is particularly evident in areas with soaring rental prices, which limit mobility and hinder the recruitment of valuable profiles in key sectors.

At Servitalent, we understand that talent management is the heart of any competitive organization. We help companies find and develop the right people, but we also recognize that to do this effectively, we need innovative tools that allow us to be fast, precise, and adaptable. This belief led us to a key strategic decision: to embrace technological autonomy to optimize our talent processes.

The German job market, which once attracted numerous Spanish professionals, is now facing a significant decline. According to the Ifo Institute, the German employment barometer has hit its lowest level since 2020, marked by hiring freezes and layoffs in key sectors.
