Applying to job ads as a job hunting channel

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)

Thanks to the overwhelmingly positive feedback, we’ve decided to design a course called “Every step of the job search explained – backed by research!” which you’ll find on Udemy. Here a sneak peek of the content on the introduction to networking as one of the tools in the job search process.

LinkedIn job ads – market analysis (Week 15)

Full Week 15 Market Signals report showing winners: Visegrad, Czechia and Losers: Baltics, Croatia

Full Week 15 Market Signals report showing winners: Visegrad, Czechia and Losers: Baltics, Croatia

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 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.

Inbox management: why you should track statistics of replies to sent emails and do follow-ups (video)

Inbox management: why you should track statistics of replies to sent emails and do follow-ups

Tracking the statistics of replies to sent emails to decision-makers during job search is what we call “effective inbox management”. It is worth knowing how to correctly calculate the response rate and interview rate in order to draw conclusions about the efficiency of your job search process. The process is effective if the response rate is 30-50% and the interview rate is 5-10%, operating under the assumption that you send follow-up emails to those who haven’t responded to the first contact.

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: “Career Angels’ support and Open Webinars were a groundbreaking step in my job search process. They made me realize several important things that you need to remember when you want to be effective”Manager
