Best of 2021 – Hidden Job Market
Welcome to 2022! For over 4 years now, we have been monitoring and sharing the most valuable job ads from the Internet every week to provide you with the best job opportunities within our “Hidden Job Market” community. In 2021, we found over 3000 job ad gems from all around Europe for experienced international managers and executives!
What is the hidden job market?
The so-called “hidden job market” consists of opportunities that:
- are difficult to find (due to how / where they were published)
- rarely see the “light of the Internet” (“hidden away” on Intranets or closed platforms)
- are distributed by word of mouth
- are handled by Executive Search firms
- come directly from companies that contact e.g. us to recommend senior candidates
Every week, our Career Angels team spends several hours going through websites and hundreds of search results from job ad platforms to source these gems – we do that, so our community doesn’t have to as it’s our mission to actively support experienced job seekers.
Summary of 2021
In 2021 in our closed group “HJM – Hidden Job Market for Experienced Managers in Europe” with over 5,500 members we managed to publish:
- 52 regular weekly reports
- 3087 hand-picked job ad gems…
- …including 428 fully remote opportunities
- 80+ dedicated Hidden Job Market YouTube videos
The Hidden Job Market group
The purpose of the group is to give experienced managers and executives access to these so-called “hidden job market” and “real” job ads in Europe – with an emphasis on opportunities for English-speaking, international candidates that have minimum 10 years of experience.
