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.

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.
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.
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.

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
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.

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
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
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
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.

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.

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.
Legal: My clients have started to form their budgets again and are changing the contract conditions so it’s not perfectly stable at the moment.
International consulting: Our sales have significantly dropped because of the international traffic restrictions.
Digital transformation: Finding clients online has become much harder than before. What’s more, we are looking for European and American suppliers, and because of the travel restrictions it’s not easy to cooperate. Apart from that, USA in mainly focused on the American companies, so our situation is difficult.
Investment fund: Many companies are being very cautious and have put their investments on hold. We can also see some political influence.
Finance: There have been some lay offs and reductions in our company, but it has more to do with the general situation of the group, not just our subsidiary.

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.
Automotive: Around 30-40% of our clients withdrew their contracts since March. We have also been experiencing severe fluctuations in profitability.
Heavy Industry: The structure of our company has been optimized and some management positions were merged, which caused lay-offs.
Mechanical Engineering: The Polish subsidiary has had no intention to lay anyone off. We’ve reduced our costs, frozen the recruitment processes and put the investments on hold. Globally speaking though, around 600 managers were laid off.
Industry: COVID-19 caused a significant development in our IT areas. It didn’t really influence the way we work – I managed to arrange the remote work of my team two years ago.
And candidate side:
Communication Manager / Finance: I am still in the job search mode. In the past few months I’ve had a few meetings and interviews but they weren’t finalized because of COVID-19. Recently, I’ve taken part in a very interesting recruitment process in a Fintech company that has been growing ever since the pandemic started, and needs to improve the communication area in their company.
Transformation Manager / Entertainment: The place I used to work at has been closed since March. My position was eliminated and all the processes I was working on stopped.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors (heading 3)
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.

Insurance: Thanks to reaching a higher technological level we were able to become more efficient by shortening the duration of selected projects. We had a very good year in terms of reaching business goals. We reached higher employee satisfaction levels. We introduced a life harmony program (webinars on interesting spots in Poland, virtual yoga classes etc.). We take part in charity events, such as donating coffee, fruit, and vegetables to hospitals, orphanages, and shelters for single mothers.
We put a significant emphasis on strengthening our internal communications since 95% of our employees work remotely. This increased general motivation. We introduced weekly newsletters: information from the CEO, a series of articles about working from home – such as how to deal with time management, health and safety etc. Written communication has changed, e-mails are more concise and easier to understand. We also introduced a communicator which helps us complete tasks more efficiently.

Collected Quotes from CEOs and HR Directors
Media: CV-19 has caused a bigger workload, I’ve been working overtime for a while now. Our team has grown bigger as well. It’s tough to manage a team when you haven’t ever met them in real life – that’s the biggest challenge.
Construction: Our business has been stable, but we do expect negative consequences with a delay in 2021.
Banking: The pandemic has influenced the way we organize our work. We have to rotate working from home and at the office. When someone tests positive, we have to close the entire branch for at least three weeks, which has a big impact on our goals.

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.

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.
Accounting / BPO: Our industry has not been affected yet, but we have started to plan how to react strategically in case it hits us. Our long-term contracts are safe, but we are aware that it might change. That’s why we are looking for an alternative approach and new possibilities. We can’t predict the decisions of the US global headquarters.
Telecommunications: Our results have been skyrocketing. The increased demand for better networks and online solutions has affected our industry in a very positive way.
And the Executive Search side:
After conversations with several Executive Search Consultants, with the exception of 2 firms (one international and one with a focus on DACH & CEE who claim to have record financial years), all other recruitment companies have shared that their turnover has decreased by 40-60%.

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.
Banking: Our current strategy is to keep our business alive rather than developing it.
Energy: We are suspecting some lay-offs.
Telecom / Manufacturing: Fortunately, we haven’t experienced any significant downtime, so we haven’t really suffered because of COVID-19.
Public Relations & Communications: A big broadcast media chain has decided to centralize the management and get rid of local GMs. Only operational decisions will be taken locally.
Computer Software: Our business is growing thanks to COVID-19. We have returned to the office but some of us are thinking about going back to HO in 50%.
Media Production: Many businesses from our capital group had to face severe consequences of the pandemic, especially from the cinema and advertising industry. When it comes to us, we decided quickly to move to remote work. It has partly remained like that to this day – we are currently combining working from the office and from home. Some of the teams have already decided to permanently implement a more flexible work mode.
Cosmetics Producer: Thanks to COVID-19, I learned that I can work from home and still be efficient. What works best in my opinion is a 50/50 solution: maintaining the relationships by working from the office and realizing projects from home.

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 -

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

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, 14 countries published more job ads on LinkedIn than in Week
13 of 2020: Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Denmark, Bulgaria, Romania, Hungary,
Croatia, Austria, Belgium, Ukraine, Czechia, Italy, and Poland.
The European Union: In Week 24, the European Union noted a +21.88% increase:
851,503 more 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 24 (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 24 (2021) - extended to 36 countries

15. Collected quotes from Executives
Consulting: Due to CV-19, a lot of cuts had to be made.
Unfortunately, that also included my position.
Banking: For a year there were no active recruitment
processes and companies held onto their teams. Things started
moving about two months ago, and since then, more and
more job offers have been appearing.
Technology: I used to absolutely love my job. I lost it due to the
pandemic, after almost five years working for the company.
18. 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."
