Current market insights

Clarity in a complex market. Support in every decision.

The European labour market is in flux — but within that movement lies opportunity. At SupportForce, we help organisations navigate this evolving landscape by providing sharp, actionable insights that allow you to make smarter, faster, and more cost-effective hiring decisions.

​

A single market, many local realities — One clear overview

We see Europe not as a patchwork of disconnected labour pools, but as one integrated space of talent mobility. While local conditions, laws, and cultural expectations still vary, the bigger picture is becoming clearer: borders are softening, cooperation is increasing, and the demand for cross-border staffing solutions is growing.

​

At SupportForce, we monitor these shifts continuously — combining on-the-ground intel from our extensive network with broader trends sourced from European labour market data, recruitment agencies, policy changes, and real-time hiring flows.

​

Here are some of the market dynamics we track and interpret for our clients:

• Regional skills clusters
  Certain regions across the EU are heavily investing in technical education, digital training, and vocational upskilling. This is creating specialist hubs — from welding experts in the Baltics to IT developers in the Balkans or logistics professionals in Poland and the Netherlands.

• Shifting cost dynamics
  Labour costs and availability vary drastically across Europe. We help you understand where you can find top-tier talent at competitive rates, with all legal and operational complexities handled by us.

• Mobility & migration patterns
  As European mobility increases and remote work norms evolve, more professionals are open to relocation or hybrid models. We connect the dots to help you reach talent you might not have considered, from regions with high readiness to deploy.

• Compliance & workforce legislation
  New EU labour rules, digital nomad visas, posted worker directives — we make sure you're not just informed, but always compliant and proactive.

Better decisions start with better insight

When you work with SupportForce, you’re not hiring a staffing agency. You’re gaining a partner who understands the market’s rhythm — and can place your needs within that larger context. We help you answer critical questions before they become expensive mistakes:

​

• Where is the best place to source talent for this role?

• What’s the expected lead time to staff this project?

• Are there hidden costs, legal risks, or market advantages?

• What role can offshoring or nearshoring play in my strategy?

​

Our goal is simple: give you the clarity and confidence to act. Whether it’s building a new team or stabilising an existing operation, our insights reduce uncertainty and help you move faster, smarter, and with greater precision.

​

Powered by data, delivered with expertise

Our insights are drawn from multiple streams:

• Live projects across Europe

• Continuous feedback from partners and candidates

• Collaboration with recruitment firms, training academies, and certifying bodies

• Macro trends published by the EU Labour Force Survey, CEDEFOP, and Eurostat

​

We distill all this into usable, strategic takeaways — tailored to your sector and ambitions.
