More than 90 percent of respondents surveyed at the end of 2016 expected to meet or exceed their revenue goals by the end of the year. 52 percent expected to exceed them, 39 percent expected to meet them, and only nine percent prepared for a shortfall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A strong 2016 has paved the way for huge expectations in 2017. Eighty-six percent expect some revenue growth and 23 percent expect revenue growth of more than 25 percent. Hiring needs are expected to increase, according to 75 percent of respondents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What do recruitment leaders predict will lead to these gains? Seventy-six percent of respondents expect to generate a majority of revenue from existing clients, 75 percent predict hiring needs to increase, and about half project billable hours to increase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Financial Priorities Take Precedent <\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Like most years, recruitment agencies have their plates full in 2017. Between technology adoption, candidate and client engagement, and ambitious revenue goals, recruitment agencies aren\u2019t lacking options when it comes to allocating their resources. With finite time and money, agencies must choose wisely, or risk falling behind the competition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Which priorities stand out?

Moving to VMS ranked as the lowest priority, with 34 percent ranking it in the bottom three. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although moving to VMS is a low priority for agencies in 2017, nearly three-quarters are currently driving some portion of their jobs through VMS systems. Those already operating in that environment need to capitalise on every opportunity to squeeze out operational efficiencies and profits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Obstacles to Success Are Everywhere You Look<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Recruitment leaders may have high hopes for 2017, but that doesn\u2019t mean they think it\u2019ll be an easy year. A number of disruptions and challenges stand in the way of agencies looking to improve revenue and profitability. The agencies that are best able to anticipate and rise above these challenges stand the best chance of meeting lofty expectations for the year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The talent shortage is the most cited obstacle for 2017.

Seventy percent of respondents report being somewhat or very concerned about Brexit\u2019s impact. Thirty-one percent are less confident about the industry outlook after Brexit, and 28 percent anticipate negative business implications from UK government policies. In particular, more than half of respondents (53 percent) expect a negative impact on their business if there are greater restrictions on the movement of labour.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Technology Will Separate the Contenders From the Pretenders<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout the survey, respondents stressed the importance of savvy technology adoption. \u201cLeveraging technology to improve business operations\u201d came in as the number four challenge for recruitment agencies. Given the emphasis on technology utilisation, it\u2019s not surprising that technology adoption is high for Recruitment Customer Relationship Management (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/eu\/products\/recruitment-crm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">CRM<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) systems: 78 percent use one to track candidate activity and 68 percent to manage sales. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There\u2019s still room for growth when it comes to technology adoption, however. Agencies aren\u2019t taking full advantage of one of the best sources of qualified talent\u2014their existing candidate database.
