Talent Market Index 112.9 · Hot▲ rising · 91.7% hiring-positiveAsia funds new growth while the field ships product
Signal tone stays positive — 87% of polar signals point to hiring. product launch leads the wire in 2 of four markets (EMEA, Americas). Asia is the outlier: geographic expansion and capital-raising run 1.6–2.1× their global share there, a fresh capital tilt.
In Asia, that fresh capital tilt changes the brief — demand tilts to scale leadership — the first VP hires, the GTM build-out, the operators who turn a raise into headcount.
“M&A is definitely a potential exit outcome because big players have the capital and they also want to move fast. They don't want to spend another two years building something when they can simply acquire it”
“advance the field through global collaboration”
