Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
Construction: The number of clients is dramatically decreasing so the company is optimizing the salaries and investments.
Telco: We changed the strategy and merged product lines. Together with restructurization it caused lay offs.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
Banking: In order to create space for business development we decided to focus on the new technology sector – business services, IT and e-commerce.
Electronics: We closed 2020 with a record in sales despite COVID-19. Our turnover has increased by 140% in 4 years and we employ almost twice as many people as in 2016.
Logistics & Supply Chain: On a business note 2020 was surprisingly good. We exceeded our sales expectations in CEE, but also in countries like Spain or Italy. Our services (tracking supply chains) worked very well in industries like FMCG, pharma, e-commerce & logistics.
Banking: The bank I’m employed in was supposed to be sold, but the transaction was frozen because of the pandemic. However, it will probably happen in one or two years.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
Airline: The industry has been heavily affected and it will take a long time for it to get better. Business traffic (our major income) might not come back to its initial level at all.
Aviation manufacturing: As my company doesn’t have its own funds and the American investors backed out, it had to go bankrupt.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
The vast majority of executives are with market leaders in their respective industries. By default, the board members are members of local boards; if not, we’ll indicate the exception.
Technology: Our company is growing significantly. This year we have hired over 30 thousand employees all over the world.
Pharma: We haven’t noticed any effects of the pandemic. Goals have been reached, bonuses have been paid. Nothing has really changed at all – except for working from home.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
Tourism: The lockdowns and travel restrictions froze the business and meant we had to reimburse a lot of our regular customers, which is not something many of our competitors did.
Manufacturing: A smaller number of clients caused our profits to drop. I’m a COO, and a lot of my responsibilities were handed over to the CEO.
VC Fund: Due to CV-19, a portfolio company didn’t reach expected profits, and we had to withdraw from selling it. This meant that my scope of responsibilities wasn’t as justified as expected.
Tourism: We had to lay off many employees. In March of 2020, the number was higher than 200.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
Building materials: Because of the fact that we didn’t have detailed data from 2019, it was hard to do a proper estimate of 2020. Fortunately, the restructurization allowed us to avoid lay-offs. We know that there were many in the industry.
Premium cosmetics: The pandemic had no influence on our business thanks to our stable e-commerce. We are safe.
Investment fund: 2020 was intense. After a brief storm in the spring we had to act quickly to adapt to the new reality. Our workload increased, especially during the fist wave of the pandemic. We had to work out new strategies and secure our sources of funding. The good side: the digitalization process stepped up and that was very beneficial.
Tourism: My 2020 looked like an MBA class in crisis management that I had to pass within a week.

Market Signals - where do they come from?
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.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
Airline: The industry has been heavily affected and it will take a long time for it to get better. Business traffic (our major income) might not come back to its initial level at all.
Aviation manufacturing: As my company doesn’t have its own funds and the American investors backed out, it had to go bankrupt.

The vast majority of executives are with market leaders in their respective industries. By default, the board members are members of local boards; if not, we’ll indicate the exception.
Technology: Our company is growing significantly. This year we have hired over 30 thousand employees all over the world.
Pharma: We haven’t noticed any effects of the pandemic. Goals have been reached, bonuses have been paid. Nothing has really changed at all – except for working from home.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
Tourism: The lockdowns and travel restrictions froze the business and meant we had to reimburse a lot of our regular customers, which is not something many of our competitors did.
Manufacturing: A smaller number of clients caused our profits to drop. I’m a COO, and a lot of my responsibilities were handed over to the CEO.
VC Fund: Due to CV-19, a portfolio company didn’t reach expected profits, and we had to withdraw from selling it. This meant that my scope of responsibilities wasn’t as justified as expected.
Tourism: We had to lay off many employees. In March of 2020, the number was higher than 200.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
Building materials: Because of the fact that we didn’t have detailed data from 2019, it was hard to do a proper estimate of 2020. Fortunately, the restructurization allowed us to avoid lay-offs. We know that there were many in the industry.
Premium cosmetics: The pandemic had no influence on our business thanks to our stable e-commerce. We are safe.
Investment fund: 2020 was intense. After a brief storm in the spring we had to act quickly to adapt to the new reality. Our workload increased, especially during the fist wave of the pandemic. We had to work out new strategies and secure our sources of funding. The good side: the digitalization process stepped up and that was very beneficial.
Tourism: My 2020 looked like an MBA class in crisis management that I had to pass within a week.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
Health: Following a merger in 2020, which resulted in staff reductions, COVID slowed the business down considerably and halted expansion. Neither us, our competitors nor business partners are hiring. This means that people have to look for work outside their areas of expertise.
Logistics: The business suffered due to CV-19. We had to adapt to a new way of working, develop a new strategy. Luckily, the quality of work didn’t decrease.
Pharma: Overall, the pandemic hasn’t had a negative influence on the profits – our sales actually increased by 3% in 2020 compared to 2019. We did, however, have to lay off almost a third of our employees.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
Production: Our industry is stable, 2020 was actually one of the best years in history. Production plants have to keep working, so we had no problems with sustaining the flow.
FMCG: We are not developing, and financially we are in the negative. Many employees had to be laid off in the last months of 2020.

The vast majority of executives are with market leaders in their respective industries. By default, the board members are members of local boards; if not, we’ll indicate the exception.
Production: At the beginning of the pandemic we were forced to lay some employees off due to clients freezing their investments. Already in May, however, everything started functioning again.
IT: Our industry is doing well, we’re definitely not complaining about our results.
Banking: Our company’s strategy was clear from the beginning, and at first the employees were working readily. After the holidays, the decision to change the strategy was made. That became an excuse for some employees to lower their productivity.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
The vast majority of executives are with market leaders in their respective industries. By default, the board members are members of local boards; if not, we’ll indicate the exception.
Healthcare: The next step – going back to the office. We’ve been working remotely for the past few months and it probably won’t change for those cases that don’t require face to face meetings.
Telcom: We have actually noted gains ever since the pandemic started.
Big4: Clients are hesitant to invest in business consulting as it’s costly and requires traveling, which is now limited. In consequence, it’s harder to reach our targets.
And candidate quotes:
Director / Insurance: I was laid off due to customer retention and difficulties in implementing the budget.
CFO / Retail: Thanks to contacting headhunters, I have recently been invited to 6 interviews in 2 weeks. Those recruitment processes have been unfrozen after a few months.

The vast majority of executives are with market leaders in their respective industries. By default, the board members are members of local boards; if not, we’ll indicate the exception.
IT: During the first wave of reductions in the company, 1/3 of the team was laid off – including me. The company is now frozen and will only start functioning again once the market is more stable.
Education: At the beginning of 2020 I managed to escape China and come back to Poland earlier than I planned. Thankfully, I found a job pretty quickly. Everything is remote.
Retail/Pharma: What changed is our case are the challenges that we have to face. ¼ of my team was laid off and it’s been hard to make up for it.
Cosmetics: I am responsible for new business and innovations – since the pandemic it’s been hard to present anything to the management board. The company has focused more on disinfectants than on our regular products (cosmetics).

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
The vast majority of executives are with market leaders in their respective industries. By default, the board members are members of local boards; if not, we’ll indicate the exception.
Market Research: We were heavily affected by the pandemic – we are in the red and come up short compared to other companies in our industry. Online projects are cheaper than regular ones, so we have to work more in order to reach the same results. Our clients from Telco and Finance industries have been carrying their research without interruption, but those from FMCG slowed down a bit and have only recently started to catch up.
Mechanical Engineering: Our business turned out to be resistant to CV-19 – except for service centers, where 20-30% of contracts with commercial clients were frozen. Unfortunately, all of our recruitment processes have been frozen since March as well.
IT Services: We sell advanced training platforms, so one might think that our business position was perfect for CV-19, and that there was an increased need for homeschooling and remote work solutions. Unfortunately, we were lacking a representative in the CEE region, which prevented us from making great profit. We couldn’t succeed without direct cooperation and establishing long-term relations.
Management Consulting / Sustainability: One of the sustainability projects that we were carrying out was frozen because all the companies withdrew. As their turnovers slowed down, the sustainability budgets were moved to different areas in order to save the businesses. Although a little short-handed, we will start the project again after summer.
Media: The cinema industry has been seriously affected. We couldn’t count on commercial revenues, as companies stopped advertising.

Automotive: The industry is doing really well. We have a portfolio full with orders, but we have to fight for new contracts with highly developed competitors. Our company hasn’t been directly impacted by CV-19. At first, everything slowed down, but when I joined the company in May, things were already getting back to normal.
Machinery: My company is doing well in general, production is in full swing. Unfortunately, it is a bit more difficult to work in Poland now, as many clients are closed for outsiders. Growing a business is a challenge these days.
FMCG: In order to get the best results these days you have to work creatively. Some countries are noting losses of more than 20%. Problems keep getting more serious in big city centers. Consumers prefer prepackaged products and are not as keen to buy in bulk.
Aviation & Aerospace: The pandemic’s influence on my industry is noticeable, although not as dramatic as on other industries. Changes have been structural and long-sighted.

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 human resources and 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.
We’ve continued reaching out to CEOs, HR Directors, investors, board members and candidates that we know personally, to take the temperature. Below you’ll find their shortened quotes in no particular order.
Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
The vast majority of executives are with market leaders in their respective industries. By default, the board members are members of local boards; if not, we’ll indicate the exception.
Chemical: We are still working from home and our workload has increased because of the current situation.
Telco / IT: We probably won’t make it – we lost many clients and that put us in a very difficult situation.
Manufacturing: COVID-19 caused a noticeable crisis, the company's poor financial performance in 2020 has reduced headcount to 20% of the levels from the beginning of the year.
Chemical: We produce sanitizing products so we are very busy.

Retail: There’s a lot of movement in our segment at the moment. Even though a big part of our consumers switched to online shopping, the stationary sales points are still working properly.
Production: The consumer goods industry has had good results and thanks to that we exceeded our goals for this year. The only problem is that we are unable to hire the people we need – it seems like there’s not many on the market.

Trendy HR, w tym zagrożenia: high volume i social mediaCareer Angels
Rekrutacja high-volume odnosi się do praktyki obsadzenia dużej liczby stanowisk w krótkim czasie. Statystyki odnośnie zatrudnienia z LinkedIn (2022) pokazują, że rekrutacja za pośrednictwem mediów społecznościowych zyskuje na znaczeniu z dnia na dzień, ponieważ okazała się skuteczna.
Trendy HR, w tym zagrożenia: analityka HR oraz diversity & inclusionCareer Angels
Według raportu LinkedIn Global Trends 2020, 73% firm uznało, że skupienie się na analityce HR jest ich priorytetem na najbliższe kilka lat, ale jednocześnie 55% specjalistów ds. talentów twierdzi, że nadal potrzebuje pomocy we wdrażaniu podstawowych analiz dotyczących zarządzania ludźmi.
Trendy HR, w tym zagrożenia: nagrywane rozmowyCareer Angels
Jak mówi HireVue, do września 2019 r. przeprowadził 12 milionów rozmów kwalifikacyjnych – 20% z nich za pośrednictwem sztucznej inteligencji, co oznacza, że po drugiej stronie ekranu wideo nie było rekrutera. Do lutego 2021 r. liczba ta wzrosła do 19 milionów. Raporty mówią nam, że sztuczna inteligencja zastąpi 16% miejsc pracy w sektorze rekrutacyjnym przed 2029 rokiem.
Trendy HR, w tym zagrożenia: ATS (Applicant Tracking System) i testyCareer Angels
Jak wynika z badania opublikowanego przez JobScan, już 98,8% firm z listy Fortune 500 korzystało z ATS w roku 2019. W dodatku, według naszych własnych danych, 60-70% ról kierowniczych jest obsadzanych przy pomocy wstępnej selekcji z użyciem ATS – do 2016 roku byłoby to niespotykane! Coraz większą popularnością cieszy się również wykorzystywanie testów podczas zatrudniania nowych pracowników.

2. The type of clouds (cirrus, stratus, cumulus, nimbus), their size, location, direction and
speed of movement can give an indication as to what the weather has in store
over the coming two days: storm, sun, snow, ice or rain. In other words, dreamy, thin,
wispy clouds bring something different than fluffy, cotton wool style clouds.
The art of interpreting signals (precursors of trends) is - and always has been -
important in navigating financial markets and economies. If you are an
experienced manager or executive who wants to manage their career and/or job
search processes wisely, look at the signals of the job market which are
inseparably embedded in the VUCA landscape of today's world.
Check in on Saturday afternoons for the newest release on LinkedIn:

3. 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.
We 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.

4. Index18: This week, 12 countries published more job ads on LinkedIn than
in Week 13 of 2020: Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Denmark, Bulgaria, Romania,
Ukraine, Croatia, Austria, Belgium, Poland, and Hungary.
The European Union: In Week 12, the European Union noted a -13.49%
decrease: 525,142 fewer job ads were published than in the initial Week 17.
Overview of the indices
5. Number of published job ads on LinkedIn
Week 13 (2020) to Week 12 (2021)
Note: some job ads might
have been taken off
LinkedIn, not because
the recruitment process was
put on hold or canceled,
but because they are costly,
especially if you have
dozens of them. A
company might have
wanted to simply cut costs
and move to more cost
effective alternatives. Some
local job portals are offering
substantial discounts. These
are the initial 18 countries
that we tracked.
6. Number of published job ads on LinkedIn
Week 15 (2020) vs Week 12 (2021) - extended to 36 countries

17. Cover the basics: our ATS "enforces" as complete applications as possible. Having said that, it still
surprises me that approximately 30% of the candidates still don't get the absolute basics right!
Don't apply to everything. Constant rejection affects your motivation. Keep applying to the job
ads where you see a fit and don't give up!
Head of Talent Acquisition / International public organization
"Before CV-19, sometimes we'd have only 20 applicants for a post. Now, there's a massive increase. For
some roles it's double the amount of candidates – for HR roles, even more! A recent posting received
50 applicants within 12 hours! I can see that online interviews are more stressful for candidates
because of all the technical challenges. Consequently, their performance is different. The overall
candidate experience is also different – not worse, just different."
