Job Hunting Report 2020


Since 2012 we’ve been meticulously collecting data on what works and what doesn’t on the job market from an experienced candidate’s perspective – we are the only player in Europe that does that. Thanks to the analysis and consequent insights each year, we are better equipped at advising our C-suite clients.

Interpreting stats is ever more important in a world that continues to be VUCA – why? Without proper research, most executives meander in frustration from interview to interview, if they were able to land one in the first place. Our KPI-driven approach allows us to effectively help experienced candidates navigate the labyrinth that is the job market.

Free* & high-quality resources for your career management and job search 2021

We know that times are still difficult for some. And for others, they might become difficult this year looking at the increase in unemployment rates and the overall decrease in the number of job ads on LinkedIn. We also know that some want and / or need to be more careful with their budgets.

That’s why we’ve decided to offer many, many, many of our resources entirely, completely for free! Because at the end of the day – we are Angels for a reason! One of the examples from 2020: we’ve organized approx. 200 sessions with our network of career coaches and consultants for professionals who felt overwhelmed with the pandemic – especially at the beginning.

Here are the links – feel free to share them!

If you are an active job hunter on a budget, watch the playlist called “Online Webinars – Job Search
Support” where we walk you through all four steps of the job search process, incl. online interviewing.
