Hung Lee Grades His 2025 Recruitment Forecasts: A Look Back at Predictions

In a recent LinkedIn post, Hung Lee revisits his predictions for the recruitment landscape in 2025, offering a self-reflective review of his forecasting accuracy. Lee, known for his forward-looking analyses, shared his methodology for grading his past forecasts, inviting engagement from his professional network.

The recruitment leader outlined a clear grading system to evaluate his accuracy, ranging from significant errors to absolute correctness. This transparent approach underscores his commitment to honest assessment within the industry.

I’m one of those obnoxious people who write forecast posts on what I think is going to happen in recruiting for the year ahead. Last year, I made 20 x forecasts, and today we are going to review them to see just how wrong I was 🤣

Reviewing the Forecasting Methodology

Hung Lee detailed his grading system, which assigns points based on the accuracy of each prediction. This system aims to provide a quantifiable measure of his foresight regarding recruitment trends.

The Grading Scale

According to Lee, the grading system is as follows:

• +5: ABSOLUTELY CORRECT
• +2: DIRECTIONALLY CORRECT
• 0: CAN’T SAY EITHER WAY
• -2: DIRECTIONALLY INCORRECT
• -5: ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT

Lee encourages his audience to engage with his self-assessment, prompting them to consider their own predictions from the past year.

I guess it is going to come down to how you feel about it. Take a look folks, let me know how you think I did. Also, which prediction did YOU make 12 months ago that you think you got right? What did you get wrong? Fun conversation to start the week 👊
