Chris Burkhard, President of Placers Staffing, sat down with WDEL’s Peter MacArthur to break down Delaware’s evolving job market and share practical strategies for landing a job in 2025.
Since the pandemic, Delaware has added 20,000 new jobs, with healthcare, government, and trade industries leading the way. But hospitality and IT still haven’t fully recovered, and overall job growth is slowing. Meanwhile, Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filter out 75% of resumes before a human even sees them—meaning job seekers must be strategic about formatting and keywords.
“The job market is always changing, but one thing stays the same—your network is your greatest asset. In a state like Delaware, connections matter, and at Placers, we help job seekers make the right ones.” – Chris Burkhard
Key takeaway: The job market is shifting, and knowing where to focus makes all the difference. Whether you’re looking for full-time, contract, or temp work, Placers’ deep connections in Delaware can help you get a foot in the door.
