The iCIMS Insights April 2025 Workforce Report highlights opportunity for private sector employers to tap into highly skilled former federal workers
Holmdel, NJ [April 15, 2025] – Sweeping layoffs across federal agencies are shaking up the U.S. workforce, impacting multiple departments and job functions, from healthcare to financial services and education. iCIMS, a leading provider of talent acquisition technology, today released the iCIMS Insights April 2025 Workforce Report, unveiling new challenges and opportunities for employers and job seekers alike as tens of thousands of displaced public sector workers flood the private job market. The report also includes perspective and actionable advice for employers and job seekers from iCIMS partner, UKG.
iCIMS data shows that despite all predictions of a gloomy March, the overall labor market has shown surprising resilience. According to the new report, job applications and openings are on the rise, up a whopping 24% and 7%, respectively, since this time last year. Will these positive signs persist as the effects of the federal workforce cuts trickle into the private-sector labor market, or will this optimism give way to chaos?
“The recent wave of federal workforce reductions is introducing a surge of experienced, highly skilled talent from public sector jobs into the private sector,” said Stephanie Sansone, director of talent acquisition, iCIMS. “While this shift brings some uncertainty, it also reinforces the strategic role recruiters play in matching candidates’ transferable skills to the open roles as they enter the market.”
Key hiring trends drawn from iCIMS’ proprietary platform of thousands of customers worldwide:
Bob Lavigna, senior fellow – public sector at UKG, an iCIMS partner, emphasized how private sector workers can translate their experience for private sector employers: “Displaced federal employees have a lot to offer but will need to translate their federal experience into descriptions that non-government employers will understand. They will need to communicate not just the tasks they performed but the outcomes they achieved.”
Earlier this month, iCIMS announced it has been awarded “Business Intelligence Solution Provider of the Year” at the 2025 Data Breakthrough Awards. This is the second consecutive year the iCIMS Insights monthly labor market snapshots and subscription-based services, iCIMS Insights+ and iCIMS Insights Advisor, have been recognized — selected from over 3,000 nominations from across the globe.
