  "account": "Deel CEO Alex Bouaziz has welcomed back former employees who left on good terms. This trend, known as boomerang hiring, is on the rise, and some CEOs see significant benefits in bringing ex-workers back. Boomerang employees can help reinforce other employees' decision to stay, and can provide valuable insights into why they left, allowing the company to make necessary changes. However, not all ex-employees are welcomed back, as some CEOs prefer to hire only high-performing individuals who left on good terms. In 2025, roughly 3.4% of new hires in the US were boomerangs, up from 3.1% in 2023.",
