LinkedIn job ads – market analysis (Week 17)

Full Week 17 Market Signals report showing winners: Visegrad, Poland and Losers: Iberia, Spain

Full Week 17 Market Signals report showing winners: Visegrad, Poland 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.

Successful job search: all about timing (video)

Successful job search: all about timing

Job search being a full-time commitment, candidates have to know all about the perfect timing in order to be successful. Assuming that everything is well-prepared and that a candidate uses all four job hunting channels at the same time – speculative introduction, contacting headhunters, networking and applying to job ads – the job search takes about 8 to 12 weeks.

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 would definitely recommend your webinars not only to people looking for a job “right now“, but also to those who think of changing and who want to be well-prepared. I believe that they are useful to anyone, as the know-how is prepared and presented in a very concentrated manner.” (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 how to estimate the job search duration.

HR trends: Attracting Candidates

HR trends: Attracting Candidates

HR trends: Attracting 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 #1 out of 5: Attracting Candidates.

#WiseWednesday: Grace Hopper

“If it’s a good idea, go ahead and do it. It’s much easier to apologize than it is to get permission.” by Grace Hopper

I don’t use any private email address

Career Consultant Diary: I don't use any private email address by Sandra Bichl

Career Consultant Diary: I don’t use any private email address

Being a Career Consultant for Executives is often misunderstood or romanticized or both. Sandra Bichl, founder of Career Angels and experienced international Career Consultant, decided to bring more transparency to her/our profession by sharing random days of her work in the form of a “diary” – the delay (sometimes of a year) ensures confidentiality. Below a client example who discontinued their private contact details as they became fully enwrapped in their corporate life. Spoiler: don’t do it!
