Job Hunting Report 2023

Job Hunting Report 2023

In 2023, we strengthened our leading position in the career consultancy world, thanks to our returning clients’ trust and numerous referrals. This year presented challenges for our clients arising from the economic crisis affecting every industry. We assisted them by helping them find new jobs through outplacement programs, and in building fresh career paths through up-skilling and re-skilling efforts.

Our dedication extended beyond consultancy as we shared our knowledge of career advisory, earning recognition from HR departments that sought out our expertise to establish in-house career advisory centers. We also delivered open-format trainings for future Career Advisors, supported G/E/MBA students, and secured major consulting and CSR projects.
