Recommendations are to change fonts and colors and provide more content above the fold to reduce scrolling for look and feel. For site information, improvements are needed to the search function and providing more content in example documents.

This presentation was given by Econsultancy senior research analyst Andrew Warren-Payne at FeWeb's 'The Future is Back' event on April 1st 2014.
In his talk, Andrew highlighted the continual existence of "The Gap" in digital marketing between what companies want to be doing and what they are actually doing. Based on the decreasing longevity of companies, this gap presents a real danger for companies who do not seek to close it.
This gap is being created by the constant pace at which consumer behaviour is changing, driven by speed of developments in technology. And just as mobile and multichannel customer behaviours are proving a challenge to companies today, the emergence of the 'Internet of Things' will again change customer behaviour in the future.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
