The Perfect Storm: Why Contract Hiring In Privacy Will Eclipse Direct Hiring In 2024

Remote Flexibility Drives Job Seekers

The top motivator for job seekers in 2021, 2022, and 2023 was the desire to work remotely from home more often than their current employer allowed. In 2021, 75% of offers accepted required three or fewer days in an office, but 80% of that 75% were fully remote. In 2022, 87% of jobs were hybrid three days or fewer, but only 69% of those jobs were fully remote. In 2023, hybrid employment accelerated to 90% of offers accepted, but the amount of those roles that were 100% remote dropped dramatically to 32% (see Figure 1). With significantly fewer fully remote positions available in 2023, active job seekers were faced with the question of whether to begin considering compromises on work-from-home flexibility or compromise in other areas like compensation, vertical mobility, quality of life, or employment modality.

As the job market no longer produces the same volume of direct hire fully remote opportunities, job seekers in privacy are more readily considering working contract and contract-to-hire to maintain fully remote employment.

In 1987, a unanimous Court of Appeals reaffirmed the vitality of the "stranger to the deed" rule, which holds that if a grantor executes a deed to a grantee purporting to create an easement in a third party, the easement is invalid.

Wagner, decided by the Second Department on November 29th, makes it clear that not all grantors (or their lawyers) have received the Court of Appeals' message, suggesting that the rule needs re-examination.
