Job search KPIs for executives as of 2022


Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Job search KPIs for executives as of 2022“.

How do you know if your job search is objectively going well… or bad for that matter? There are job search KPIs that are relevant to experienced managers and executives:
– minimum thresholds to make the job search channels work
efficiency of job search channels (based on accepted job offers)
– response rate
interview rate
– 1st interview to 2nd interview to shortlist/offer rate
market dynamics (unemployment vs. available opportunities)

Those KPIs change over time: effective career advice on job search from 20 or 15 or as little as 6 years ago, would now be ineffective or even harmful to active candidates.

During this interactive meeting we’ll look at:
– all of the above-mentioned KPIs
– the most effective job search strategy for experienced managers and executives as of 2022!

In other words, after this meeting you’ll precisely know what (and how) to improve in your job search efforts.

Demand for candidates – job market report

Market Signals Report Week 5 - LinkedIn

 

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 decisions: heart vs. mind – who wins? And what can you do about it?


Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Career Decisions: Heart vs. Mind – who wins? And what can you do about it?“.

How did you get to where you are career-wise today? How much was by accident? How much was planned? Is there an underlying pattern that you follow subconsciously? And how come some change jobs often, some not at all, and some keep thinking about starting their own business? How come some are on clear executive tracks, while some struggle to get ahead – yet others don’t even desire a linear career path?

There’s a science behind that and over 40 years of research of over a million career paths that give us clear hints on how to think (and feel) about career – as a whole – and our own.

Don’t we all want a fulfilling career? But how do we get there?

During this interactive meeting we’ll explain:
– the different perspectives (heart vs. mind)
– how to address and deal with potential discrepancies
– how to identify your own career profile and needs
– how to identify potential mismatches (red flags!) between candidates and future employers
– job crafting and life / career design

CV for executives ≠ CV for non-executives (with real examples!)


Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “The best (& worst) CVs for executives – with real examples

Let’s face it: your current CV is the product of updating a file that you started 10-20 years ago. While the format you used as an ambitious junior was great, it most probably doesn’t reflect your USP, your personal brand or executive presence.

And even if you decided to upgrade your resume by using a template, chances are, that you chose one that looks nice, but isn’t really user-friendly – neither for humans nor for ATS.

During this interactive meeting we’ll explain:
– how an executive CV should look like (with real examples)
– how to go about writing your profile summary

Best of 2021 – CSR Initiatives

For many, 2021 was not the easiest year. Some have lost their job because the pandemic is not letting go. Entering the job market after 10-15 years can be a maze, where candidates can collide with ghosting, recruitment bots, new trends along the way.

This is why Career Angels actively helps candidates and shares knowledge every year by organizing many CSR activities.
