Since 2012, Hays has partnered with leading research consultancy Oxford Economics to deliver authoritative insights into global labour market dynamics. This collaboration began with the development of the Hays Global Skills Index, an annual benchmark that illuminated the pressures facing employers and policymakers across 33 countries. In 2025, this partnership evolved with the launch of the Hays Global Talent Tracker, an interactive data tool designed to provide a sharper, more strategic view of workforce competitiveness across 35 markets.
