How to thank us
At Career Angels, we do a lot for the job market – especially since the beginning of the pandemic. Often completely free of charge. We are, therefore, asked – sometimes suspiciously: “Why do you do it? Why do you share your know-how freely?”. We are called “Angels” for a reason – we care. But also: we want to elevate our profession. We want to educate the market. We want to define standards. We want to set the bar high.
And once in a while, we are asked, “How can I help? How can I contribute?”. We’ve put together a list of things that you can do to help us help others – more about that below. First, a summary of our 2021 thus far to convince you that we merit your support:
1973 participants in 25 webinars of different formats + regular quantitative data tracking of the number of published job ads on LinkedIn + 525 curated hidden job market gems + 204 free career consultations + 4 moderated exclusive meetings for experienced managers and executives. And that’s just the beginning!

Full Week 12 Market Signals report showing winners: Baltics, Montenegro and Losers: Iberia, Spain
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.
In this short video, you’ll see a sneak peek of “Direct approach: contacting companies directly 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: “Open Webinars turned out to be very helpful not only for me, but also for my husband. They helped me understand the point is not to quit the corporate world, but to find a path/company which appreciates my experience and lets me realize my own projects. Great initiative!” – Sales Director

Free session for experienced managers & executives in Europe who are currently looking for a job (or getting ready for it): “Job Search + Networking = ?”.
The correct answer is: 27.33% and one of the four main job search channels that generate offers. But how do you network when you can’t network – at least not offline like we “used to”?
With the changes on the job market, experienced managers and executives don’t have the luxury of “skipping” networking entirely. You have to do it. Professionally. Elegantly. Systematically.
During this interactive meeting we’ll explain:
– how to audit your current network
– how to stay in touch with people you know
– how to continue building your network
– how to craft messages on LinkedIn that are inviting and don’t reek of spam or desperation
