To communicate effectively with headhunters, you need to understand how they work. They aren’t your friends, colleagues or people that want to help you. They work for their clients and are looking for the right candidates (meaning you) who will do the job. The effectiveness of this channel for the last 3 years was 13.67% which means that it remains in the fourth position among the job search channels. Depending on your seniority and the size of the market, we recommend you contact 30-50, but sometimes even more than 100 headhunters during your job search.

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: “I recommend the webinars to people who haven’t looked for a job in a very long time.” – Operations Manager

Full Week 12 Market Signals report showing winners: Baltics, Montenegro and Losers: Iberia, Spain

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.

Great initiative!” – Sales Director

Job Market in Africa – Special Report

With the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, we, Career Angels, wanted to understand how it actually affected the job market. We started to observe and analyze the changes that it brought. We have been gathering weekly data (unemployment and the number of LinkedIn job ads) and closely observing the situation across the EU since March 2020. In mid-September, we decided to extend our job market observations to a total of 80 countries on all continents – well, almost all – we do not track what’s happening in Antarctica. Tracking the demand for candidates, that is – if and how much companies are hiring, gives quite a good feel of the overall trend on the global job market.

This is an updated version of our report on the African job market. We summarized 25 weeks of the COVID-19 effects on the oldest continent.
