Winter is coming! Say what?! Yes, indeed it is! Quoting a client, “I know it’s summer, but winter is coming! If I don’t have a new job by then, I’ll be very frustrated. So, let’s get started!”
Right after the pandemic hit Europe, we asked ourselves: how can we support the many, many candidates who saw their jobs affected? The majority of companies don’t offer any kind of job search support to those who they had to let go – for those who are new to this topics – that support is called: Outplacement.
While our competitors (wealthy corporations) focused on “business as usual” and running online questionnaires for HR people, Career Angels decided to produce two editions of 4-module webinars – completely free of charge. Why? Because it was the right thing to do! Some companies decided to contribute to our crowdfunding efforts, as their employees were participating.
In this post we are sharing the stats and how both – companies & individuals – still can take advantage of them:

This weeks recommendations from Urszula Rapacka for executives and managers across Europe:
“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.” by Albert Einstein.
LMGTFY: Albert Einstein (1879 – 1955), theoretical physicist who developed the theory of relativity, one of the two pillars of modern physics. Also known for his influence on the philosophy of science. Best known to the general public for his mass–energy equivalence formula E=mc2. Received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics.
When we work with our clients, we focus on them – not us. As a result, when one of our consultants do share something, the main reaction is, “Oh, really? I didn’t know!”. We will, therefore, do better! :)

That’s good news! Having said that – the people who have lost their jobs are not necessarily the candidates that the job market is hiring. There is a certain mismatch between supply and demand. But it doesn’t have to be that way – especially if you do have the competencies that companies are looking for – but are not exposing them in the right way.
So: which competencies are sought after? Which candidates are attractive? How can you be one of them?

Because of how we work when supporting our clients, we have a very unique “glimpse” into how over 5000 Executive Search companies and almost 20 000 decision makers react – the majority of which being located in Europe; and we collect and analyze how they respond; and we observe if and what kind of trends there are to leverage them into better career management & more effective job search methods.
Before there are trends, there are signals which we usually keep to ourselves. But these are not usual times, so we decided to share those 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.
