Spencer Ogden's Global Market Update: Q3 and Beyond
Spencer Ogden’s latest Global Market Update brings together exclusive data, expert insights, and first-hand intelligence from our teams across EMEA, APAC, and the Americas, offering a clear view of how global hiring evolved through Q3 2025.
This quarter reinforced a defining trend of the year: stability built on selectivity. Across most markets, contract demand remained strong, driven by project-critical hiring in grid, renewable, and infrastructure delivery. Permanent hiring continued to be strategic, with employers focusing on long-term value through leadership, finance, and technical capability. This was seen particularly within data centres, battery storage, and grid modernisation.
While the global market is adjusting to shifting policy landscapes and capital conditions, investment in energy transition and digital infrastructure remains robust. The growing intersection between power and data, from hyperscale projects to AI-driven energy demand, is reshaping where and how companies build their teams.
“We’ve moved from cyclical trends of supply and demand into what I would call a secular acceleration, where technology, policy, and investment are converging at unprecedented speed.”
– Henry de Lusignan, CEO
