Retail Recruiting for the Evolving Landscape
The retail landscape is rapidly evolving. Consumer trends, like shopping and researching online, social commerce, and changing expectations in terms of technology and social responsibility work together to shape brands and redefine talent needs. Even though online sales only account for 15% of total retail sales in the US, e-commerce is increasingly driving shopping habits. Statista predicted that by 2022 e-commerce sales would account for close to 20% of all retail sales worldwide. By 2026, online sales are expected to make up nearly a quarter of all retail sales worldwide.
