Retention | 'Job scrolling' trend emerges as staff quietly keep their career options open

As redundancies, hiring slowdowns and economic uncertainty continue across many industries, more employees are quietly “job scrolling” by browsing vacancies on sites such as LinkedIn and Indeed during the working day.

Many employees are simply keeping an eye on what is available, benchmarking their salary against the wider market or reassuring themselves that other opportunities exist should their circumstances suddenly change.
