Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “May the bots be with you!”.
AI is expected to replace 16% of recruitment sector jobs before 2029. These and other numbers show that technology wants to play the first fiddle on today’s job market.
A senior candidate who wants to be successful in their job search has to embrace technology and all that comes with it. But it’s easy to get lost, especially for those who haven’t looked for a job in a while.
During this interactive meeting, we’ll explain how to identify, understand and correctly maneuver elements of technology in every stage of the job search process, incl.:
– (chat)bots on the job market
– Applicant Tracking System
– LinkedIn algorithm
– pre-hire psychometric testing
– AI interviews

About & details: Bewerben in Zeiten von Corona: Besonders schwierig oder eine Karrierechance?
Unternehmen rekrutieren seit Anfang der Pandemie zwischen 50% und 70% weniger über LinkedIn. Die Arbeitslosenrate steigt weiter an. Die Aussichten sind entsprechend trübe…
Wie bewerbe ich mich als Executive unter solchen Bedingungen? Was funktioniert – und was nicht? Ist eine Bewerbung in diesen Zeiten besonders schwierig oder kann ich das jetzige Marktumfeld auch als Karrierechance nutzen?
Sandra Bichl freut sich darauf, all diese Fragen und noch viele mehr mit Euch am 20. April um 20 Uhr zu besprechen. Als ehemalige Executive Search Consultant unterstützt Sandra seit über 10 Jahren erfahrene Manager und Führungskräfte in ganz Europa in ihrem Karrieremanagement und in der Jobsuche.

Full Week 15 Market Signals report showing winners: Visegrad, Czechia and Losers: Baltics, Croatia
We started by monitoring the number of LinkedIn job ads in 18 European countries in Week 13 of 2020 (mid-March) – and extended our observations to ultimately 38 countries in Europe since Week 15. This allows us to measure a KPI that gives quite a good feel of the overall trend on the global job market.
Career Angels analyze the collected figures and complement the quantitative data with detailed and personal statements & insights of CEOs, HR Directors, investors, board members, candidates and headhunters that we know personally. We observe if and what kind of trends there are to leverage them into better candidate management & more effective job search methods.
These are not usual times, so we decided to share our market signals by the end of each week. If the country / context is important, we’ll add them. Otherwise, we’ll keep it general for confidentiality.
Career Angels is a European career consulting boutique that has been providing tailor-made services since 2010: for individuals (career management & job search support), for companies (outplacement services, HR consulting services), for business schools (consultations, lectures). We are often called innovative or pioneering for how we work internally and with our clients. Does that sound like something that you’d like to be a part of? Fantastic! We are currently looking for a Career Consultant (remote)
Networking has an efficiency of 29% as a job hunting channel – 14% more than contacting recruiters! Depending on how complex the job search is, candidates should get in touch with their network 3 to 9 months prior starting the whole process, meaning that they have to audit contacts in advance, be systematic and consistent.
This video was recorded during one of the 16 webinars we produced last year that attracted over 1000 participants from all over the world who have spontaneously sent us feedback like this one: “The webinars allowed me to systematize my knowledge. They were invaluable to understand how the current job market looks like. They are a beautiful initiative in times like these. They support people for whom building a career development path is a big unknown in some aspects. It’s perfect for those who appreciate professional knowledge and experience” – Department Director
