How a job interview looks like? (video)

Let’s think about how a real job interview looks like. If a very first thing that comes to your mind is a stiff question-answer conversation with a recruiter, you might have a stereotypical approach to this subject. Remember, every single contact with a headhunter, from a screening call to the meeting over a cup of coffee, is an interview. Always be prepared and don’t let anybody catch you off-guard!

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: “Open Webinars present huge and very valuable knowledge. You are a phenomenal company and I’m more than happy that I was given a chance of participating in the webinars. I recommend them to all my friends looking for a job.” (Senior Business Manager)

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 what is an interview and how a real job interview looks like.

HR trends: Separating

HR trends: Separating by Career Angels

HR trends: Separating by Career Angels

About the series: CV-19 has accelerated many trends, including (or especially!) those related to HR and recruitment. Companies that want to hire valuable candidates – who don’t quit after 3 months – have to make sure they keep up with the newest trends. What’s even more important: the need to implement new strategies in the right way.

Trends that are introduced too fast and/or by the wrong department will backfire by e.g. generating additional costs, negative employer branding, losing valuable candidates, longer recruitment processes, low(er) candidate experience, etc.

To help companies avoid these mistakes, we put together a summary of the most important trends along an employee’s life cycle – with their accompanying threats and – where possible – adding relatively simple quick wins – everything backed by stats and real cases.

This week, we are sharing one trend and threat related to Phase #5 out of 5: Separating.

Full Week 24 Market Signals report showing winners: Visegrad, Czechia, and Losers: Iberia, Spain

Full Week 24 Market Signals report showing winners: Visegrad, Czechia, 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.
