Is the war for talent back on after COVID-19? Knowing how the supply of and demand for candidates looks like in the markets you are active in, is an important source of data for both sides of the job markets.
(in)effective candidate – program status
How to help a candidate who:
– hasn’t been able to find a job for 9 months or longer?
– claims that “I haven’t received any job offer because of the pandemic”
– hears feedback like “… your competencies and experience are amazing, but not your age…”
– thinks about giving up, “I follow websites with job ads for hours, I’ve sent dozens or even hundreds of CVs and… nothing?!”
As part of our CSR initiatives, in May 2021, we started recruiting for a program following the “individual outplacement” formula, which aims at supporting people who have not been able to find a job for a long time. Initially, we assumed that we would recruit 3 people, but eventually we chose 4 people who started the job search process with us on June 7 (more about the recruitment criteria and detailed structure at the end).

My first year at Career Angels – a summary
Exactly a year ago, I started working at Career Angels. And although I received my laptop in May, I finished the induction in June, so emotionally I’m counting it from June! For that reason, I decided to summarize this extraordinary and intense year.
But from the beginning… I “met” Career Angels in 2018 during the first Career Consultant Course. At the time, I was working as a recruiter in financial outsourcing and after two intensive training days, I said that I would never work as a career consultant. Why? At that time, I was terrified of all the details of the processes, expert knowledge, shared responsibility for the clients’ success in their job search and, of course, these meticulous statistics.
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)
How has COVID-19 changed the unemployment level? Do we have less unemployment than a year ago? Does it mean that the demand for candidates (the number of LinkedIn job ads) increased? Or is it the other way around? We took a closer look at the European unemployment rates and identified which countries noted an increase, a decrease, or a return to the unemployment level from before the COVID-19 pandemic after more than 1 year of its duration.
