2025 Hiring Trends to Look For in Office Support & Administration

Temp Staff

With the economy in flux, we’re expecting to see a continued increase in demand for temporary and contract office support roles nationwide. Businesses are increasingly hiring temp staff or contractors as they require specific skills, particularly in administrative, customer service and project support spaces. Temporary staffing is a convenient and speedy route for clients to hire high quality, adaptable staff at short notice, for long or short term needs. With many candidates transitioning to “career temping”, clients have never had such fast access to candidates who have shown proven adaptability and system/process learning skills, as well as exposure to numerous industries and systems.

Digital Knowledge and Technologies

As companies across Ireland step up their digital game, office support roles are no exception. Employers are on the lookout for people who know their way around tools like CRM software, project management platforms, and advanced Excel. Familiarity with cloud-based tools and data management is becoming a standard requirement. Demand for knowledge of AI and automation tools is also rising.

Flexibility

Remote and hybrid work options aren’t going anywhere. The number one benefit Sigmar is asked for by candidates is the offering of hybrid or flexible working options. Offering remote or hybrid work is a huge plus for businesses hoping to attract and retain the right people. This is particularly evident among more senior roles such as personal and executive assistants, programme coordinators, and senior administrators. Considering the high demand versus the talent shortages for such candidates, offering flexible and hybrid working options to attract this top talent will allow for access to a larger pool of talent geographically speaking, but also, gives opportunities to people with more specific accessibility needs. This is expected to remain a top trend throughout 2025.
