Headhunt the headhunter for your job search!


Headhunt the headhunter for your job search!” – free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it).

Headhunters are often a mystery to many candidates – usually when it comes to understanding, “Why aren’t they more proactive in helping me. If I find a job, they make money!”.

During this interactive meeting, we’ll explain:
– a headhunter’s role in recruitment processes (incl. how & when they are compensated)
– how to contact them effectively & actively – but not hyperactively to avoid being perceived as too pushy or desperate!
– why it’s important to communicate with headhunters and why you should never ghost them (even if they ghost you)
– how to fine-tune your LinkedIn profile to be found at the research stage

LinkedIn job ads – market analysis (Week 19)

Full Week 19 Market Signals report showing winners: Northern Europe, Montenegro and Losers: BENELUX, Netherlands

Full Week 19 Market Signals report showing winners: Northern Europe, Montenegro and Losers: BENELUX, Netherlands

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.

What is the goal of an interview? (video)

What is the goal of an interview?

An interview process consists of three stages: before, during and after the interview – but what is the goal of an interview? The answer might surprise you! Additionally looking at data: according to our statistics, 29-34% of candidates do not reply to an invitation to participate in a recruitment process even if the invite is sent within 24-48 hours upon their application. When it comes to the interview itself, approx. 90% of those who show up to an interview are not fully prepared! Not what you would expect, right?

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 now have the full picture of the recruitment process and not only of its parts. I received information on both a basic / fundamental level and a strategic one.” (Consultant)

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 the setting the goal of an interview during the job search process.

HR trends: Recruiting Candidates

HR trends: Recruiting Candidates

HR trends: Recruiting Candidates

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: they 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 up with stats and real cases.

This week, we are sharing trends and threats related to Phase #2 out of 5: Recruiting Candidates. Read more
