Labour Market Under Pressure: How Are Companies Responding to the Challenges of 2025?

Labour Market Under Pressure: How Are Companies Responding to the Challenges of 2025?

Growing in uncertainty is not impossible. You just need the right people – and a partner who can deliver them.

In the Czech and Slovak labour market, one paradox is becoming more and more apparent: companies want to grow, but are slowed down by a lack of people.

Moreover, candidate behaviour is changing – they are more cautious, more selective and less available. In some regions, there simply is “no one left to choose from”.

How are companies reacting when they accept this reality? They partner with someone who helps them act quickly and confidently.

SYNERGIE Group: Growth Even in Challenging Times

While many companies in Europe are looking for stability, SYNERGIE Group has proven its resilience:
🔹 Revenue for the first half of 2025 reached €1.582 billion, representing year-on-year growth of +1.8%,
🔹 60.4% of revenue comes from international markets,
🔹 the group’s growth was driven mainly by Spain and Italy,
🔹 in France, where SYNERGIE has its headquarters, stabilization is expected in the second half of the year despite an unfavourable climate.

The Group thus confirms that it can grow even in times of economic uncertainty – thanks to agility, local know-how and a strong background in temporary employment and recruitment.

Czech and Slovak Markets: Challenges That Can’t Be Ignored

In Slovakia and the Czech Republic, we are seeing a slight slowdown in recruitment, due to uncertainty in industry and continued cost pressures. Paradoxically, however, companies are strongly struggling with a shortage of skilled labour – especially in production, logistics and technical fields.

Solutions that work have one thing in common: speed, discretion and reliability. Some companies can no longer afford another bad hire or the loss of a month in filling a critical role. In such cases, we can present vetted candidates within a few days – and, if needed, from abroad, including interpreter and relocation support.

Why HR Partnership Is No Longer “Nice to Have”, but a Necessity

The year 2025 shows that internal HR teams are hitting their limits. Searching, screening, contacting and interviewing dozens of candidates on top of everyday tasks? Often impossible. That’s why companies don’t come to us as just a recruitment agency, but as a reliable partner who thinks a step ahead.

We can help when you need to deal with seasonal turnover, when your team can’t respond fast enough to new orders, or when recruitment needs to happen quietly. Thanks to low attrition and above-standard attendance of our temporary employees, we don’t add more work – we take it off your plate.

Uncertainty Will Stay. But You Don’t Have to Face It Alone.

The labour market doesn’t change once a decade. It changes every month.
And companies that understand that gain an advantage by not relying solely on internal solutions.

And if you’re looking for a partner to help you navigate recruitment challenges, we’re here.

We find people for your bravest plans.
