American and European companies are increasingly turning to temporary labor due to economic uncertainty and the impact of AI.

Under the impact of economic instability and artificial intelligence, employers in the United States and Europe are increasingly relying on temporary workers to maintain business operations and delaying the hiring of permanent employees. Several recruitment service companies stated in their latest financial report conference calls that as companies evaluate how artificial intelligence will affect their staffing needs, clients are turning to contract workers. The unpredictable global geopolitical and economic situation has also made companies more hesitant, making it difficult to determine the required number of employees and the duration of employment. "We are not sure when clients will have more confidence and when talent will start changing jobs, moving towards longer-term job arrangements," said Jorge Vazquez, Chief Financial Officer of Randstad, headquartered in Amsterdam, during the company's latest financial report conference call.
