Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Hacking Job Ads & Bots“.

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. 60-70% of job ads for executives are filtered through so-called ATS. 75% of CVs will never be seen by human eyes. But there are ways around this!

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.:
– Applicant Tracking Systems
– LinkedIn algorithm
– pre-hire psychometric testing
– AI interviews

Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Strategic interviewing for executives“.

How good are you at interviewing? Do you rely on your years of experience / charisma? How many interviews lead to next rounds, shortlists and/or job offers? If you are an experienced manager or executive, the standard interviewing techniques are “not enough” to be effective.

Some truths:
– Interviewing others requires different skills than being interviewed!
– Some recruiters might take the extra time to speak with you, not because you are a great candidate, but because they see you as a potential client! Knowing how to navigate that is important.
– Most recruiters will NOT share details about the recruitment processes they wanted to invite you to if they are not convinced that you fit within 10-15 min of the conversation. So you might end up thinking: “that really was just a “get-to-know” interview” – when in reality it was not. You simply didn’t pass through the filter.

During this interactive meeting we’ll explain:
– the four levels of interviewing skills (with real examples)
– how to use the STAR method and build a relationship with the interviewer
– differences between online & offline job interviews

Additionally, during a role-play based on a real example, we’ll show you how the media technique works!

Market Signals – where do they come from?

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 all European Union countries since Week 15. This allows us to measure a KPI that gives quite a good feel of the overall trend on the 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.

Career Advisory postgraduate studies – after the fifth weekend

“I am looking for a job that matches my experience, but outside my current industry. How do I stand out among candidates who know the industry?”, “I am looking for a job in a field in which I have no experience. How long can such a process take?”. These are very common challenges a candidate faces in a rapidly changing job market. During the fifth weekend of the Career Advisory postgraduate studies, the following topics were discussed: assessment of career goals in the context of market realities and dynamics, and Candidate Positioning – defining a client’s “unique selling proposition” on the market.
