2023 Talent Trends: Retail

April 5, 2023

Each year, Business Talent Group releases the High-End Independent Talent Report, looking across industries and business functions to analyze how business leaders deploy top independent talent to fill critical skill, expertise, and leadership gaps. Here are the key retail trends for 2023.

A metamorphosis of retail is underway as consumers redefine what, where, and why they buy. As retailers continue to focus on digital channels—including social and mobile commerce—they’re also tapping on-demand talent to improve the omnichannel customer experience, gain a better understanding of buyer analytics, and prepare for uncertainty by optimizing their supply chains, financial planning, and business processes.
