Market Signals Report Week 41
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.
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.
IT / Financial Services: We managed to move to remote working smoothly and efficiently. Because of the financial market’s variability our costs decreased and we noted a significant increase in revenues – we didn’t have to lay anybody off.
Cinematography: Our industry has been severely affected by CV-19. Cinemas were closed since March to June and even though they were eventually opened, the screening rooms’ attendance was reduced to 50% or even 25% in CV-19 “red zones”. Many movies were moved to VOD platforms and big premieres were postponed. This have contributed to our significant loss.
IT Equipment: CV-19 only sped up our company’s transformations. Our structures on the EMEA level were closed. Locally – we had to lay a few people off.
Entertainment: Even though traditional sales channels slowed down, we observed a significant increase in online consumption.

There are separate entrances and exits, we’re constantly monitoring the situation on the site. We’re required to react immediately if someone doesn’t adhere to the rules.
Banking: The restrictions affected our business massively. A lot of firms stopped operating or simply disappeared. We’ve also observed a big number of lay-offs.
Construction: Our clients aren’t realizing all the orders, deliveries of materials are limited, and the prices have gone up. Even though the official statistics aren’t too optimistic, all the restrictions and limiting are often a strategic decision, and not a direct consequence of the market situation – it is more profitable to do it this way.
Finance: We are doing terribly – this is the first time we’ve been affected this much.

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.

Banking: There have been mass lay-offs – about 10% of roles have been reduced. This has caused some difficulties in doing our job. For the past 2-3 months, more and more people have been handing in their notice. It’s hard to believe that things can change for the better.
Manufacturing: The factory is and has been running at full capacity. In the last quarter, we made a profit. There have been zero layoffs, zero salary cuts. Others in the industry are actually starting to hire again.

Market Signals Report Week 8
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.
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.

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.

Market signals Report Week 48
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.
Market Signals Report Week 45
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.
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.

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
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.

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.

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.

Energy: The pandemic caused delays in decision making and carrying out tasks. Our main contractor experienced serious financial problems which triggered a chain reaction – subcontractors and suppliers didn’t get paid.
FMCG: All recruitment processes have been frozen. Sales are down and decisions have been made to not hire anyone new right now.

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).

IT: Our sales have dropped as the clients started to reduce their budgets – our support is no longer much-needed.
Healthcare: During an intense reorganization process in our company, apart from my day-to-day obligations, I was in charge of on-line recruitment. It’s been a very enriching experience from an employer’s point of view. I learned that finding engaged employees is a challenge.
Construction: The market has not been very friendly, but it’s not unstable either, although one can never be sure what’s coming. What worries me more is a global economic crisis and its consequences: unemployment and personal tragedies. But I can also see a slow but steady way out of this current apathetic situation.
Aviation: Our sector is very unstable and has suffered greatly.

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.
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.
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.

Market Signals Report Week 15
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
Market Signals Report Week 1
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 market 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.
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.

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.
Industry: The company suffered financially due to big investments in the US. Because of that, the owner decided to take over the role of Europe CEO and manage operations himself.
IT: Our industry has been affected quite heavily. Only about 50% of plans have been realized, and that was still the best result in the region. Companies’ strengths turned into limitations in the current situation. A few higher positions were terminated.
Energy: The pandemic caused delays in decision making and carrying out tasks. Our main contractor experienced serious financial problems which triggered a chain reaction – subcontractors and suppliers didn’t get paid.
FMCG: All recruitment processes have been frozen. Sales are down and decisions have been made to not hire anyone new right now.

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).

E-commerce: The global workforce has been reduced by 40%.
Construction: We predict a slowdown in the next quarter.
IT: Our sales have dropped as the clients started to reduce their budgets – our support is no longer much-needed.
Healthcare: During an intense reorganization process in our company, apart from my day-to-day obligations, I was in charge of on-line recruitment. It’s been a very enriching experience from an employer’s point of view. I learned that finding engaged employees is a challenge.
Construction: The market has not been very friendly, but it’s not unstable either, although one can never be sure what’s coming. What worries me more is a global economic crisis and its consequences: unemployment and personal tragedies. But I can also see a slow but steady way out of this current apathetic situation.
Aviation: Our sector is very unstable and has suffered greatly.

Finance: We were forced to reduce the team by 20% in 8 countries and cut the budget for group level projects.
Industrial Engineering: Our recruitment processes were frozen. Also, we were forced to take leaves. Our marketing budget was reduced as well.
IT: There has been an increase of workload in the cyber security department, as well as in marketing. We managed to run a big online event for potential clients in April, as we didn’t want to wait for a more convenient time. It involved 600 people, which is about 400 more than normally.
Investment Management: Surprisingly, it was quite easy to shift to remote work, even though we couldn’t do it before, due to compliance issues.
Automotive: We were heavily affected by the restrictions – everything was frozen for 2 months. Even though we were able to continue the production, we couldn’t deliver the products as Italy is our main customer. Fortunately, we didn’t have to lay anyone off – we went through a restructuring process just before the pandemic.
Printing Business: Sales were temporarily down, but we are slowly back to business as usual.
Management Consulting: I usually have several projects, on-going and in the pipeline. All clients & consulting firms that I cooperate with have put their projects on hold until September at least. I've been proactively trying to obtain other assignments – so far, without success.

Banking: We’ve seen a decrease in sales and our company has been looking for savings, so the restructuring processes have recently started.
Oil & Gas: Because of a significant drop in the oil price caused by CV-19, we’ve experienced a significant slowdown and our budgets had to be cut.
Telcom: E-commerce has definitely been positively affected by CV-19. Many companies have noticed new possibilities and diversified their sales channels – e-Commerce became a norm rather than just an option. Even though the interest in online shopping dropped immediately after the lock-down, company owners still expect the same results.
Public: The CV-19 situation showed that we were not really prepared to work on-line. Our on-boarding processes were almost frozen and our normal functioning blocked. This pushed us to open new communication channels on social media.
Media & Publishing: The first quarter was very good. The second one terrible. And we'll most probably hit our target for the third quarter – despite the summer break. Due to CV-19 we had to let go 100+ employees – every single team was affected to make sure we deliver on savings. Our conversations with clients re-focused from mid-to-long term projects to short-term wins.

IT: We weren’t directly in danger because of the pandemic, but were expecting some difficulties nonetheless. Our salaries were cut by 20% and we noted a two month sales decrease. It wasn’t a great loss – compared to last year, sales dropped only by a few percent.
Biotech: We were involved in building a start-up until March, when all activities had to be suspended.
And candidate quotes:
Global Executive Director / Software Market Leader / Asia: COVID-19 had affected the business in a very negative way. Face to face meetings are extremely important in Asia, but during the pandemic they could only be held through Skype, which prevented the finalization of many projects. I have seen that many recruitment processes were frozen, which made it impossible for me to move to another region.

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.

IT: The company made a decision to reorganize – many positions were eliminated. Our projects were modified, which affected both our and our clients’ work. I personally had to lay off 50 people, as there was no point in keeping our office.
Retail: We’ve stopped visiting our clients personally, everything is remote. It’s going to stay like this – I actually work better from home.

Pharma: We’re doing very well – the pandemic has caused us absolutely no problems.
IT: Before, we were realizing all of our projects remotely, but now we’ve started combining remote work with working at the office. We’ve only been working with projects that began last year – it’s hard to say what 2021 will bring.
Pharma: We’ve decided to start internal recruitment processes for higher positions. We want to dynamically transform the sales and marketing structures, in order to adapt to the changes brought by CV-19.

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.

Home appliance / Technology: The construction and home appliance industries are doing really well.
Construction: At the moment, 90% of the companies in our industry have a full set of orders. For now we don’t really feel any impact of COVID-19, but I predict that the private sector will slow down a bit in about a year – there will be less investments in shopping centers and offices.

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.

Market Signals Report Week 38
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.
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.
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.
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 media
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 & inclusion
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: rekrutacja wewnętrzna
Stosowanie rekrutacji wewnętrznej to tylko jeden z trendów, które umocniły się wraz z pandemią CV-19.
Trendy HR, w tym zagrożenia: nagrywane rozmowy
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 testy
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.

Trendy HR i zagrożenia - smartfonizacja, LI,
Obecnie niemal połowa kandydatów to „kandydaci mobilni”. Firmy, które nie chcą ich przegapić, muszą się odpowiednio dostosować.
HR trends and their threats: smartphonization, LinkedIn, ESG
Currently, nearly half of the candidates are “mobile candidates”. Therefore, companies that do not want to miss out on them, must adapt accordingly.

Market Signals Report Week 27
- 1. Market Signals by Career Angels Winners of the week Losers of the week Bosnia & Herzegovina Germany DACH Italy Spain Southern Europe Full Report - Week 27
- 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 Saturdays afternoon for the newest release on LinkedIn: http://LinkedIn.com/company/Career-Angels/ And for daily updates here http://www.LinkedIn.com/Showcase/Market-Signals/ Prepared by the entire team of www.CareerAngels.eu Published: July 4, 2020
- 3. 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 them 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 our clients 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 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. Source of signals
- 4. Overview of the indices Index18: Only 2 countries published more job ads in Week 27 than in Week 13: Poland & Ukraine. Index36: 50% of countries see an increase since last week, which is a +5.55% change in comparison to Week 26 and +11.01% in comparison to Week 25. Regions: Week 26/27: After having taken the last place last week, the DACH region experienced the biggest increase (+30.15%) in Week 27. Except for DACH, Western Europe and Southeastern Europe, every other region (Visegrad, Baltics, Northern Europe, Southern Europe, Iberia, and BENELUX) noted a decrease. The EU countries altogether have seen an increase in the number of jobs ads of +9.89%, which shows that for the past 4 weeks, declines and inclines have been alternating weekly in the EU.
- 5. Number of published job ads on LinkedIn Weeks 13 to 26 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 Weeks 15 vs 26 - extended to 36 countries
- 7. Number of published job ads on LinkedIn Weeks 15 vs 26 - extended to 36 countries - part 2
- 8. Selected quotes from CEOs & HR Directors Industry: I can definitely see a lot of companies choosing this time for big organizational transformations for several reasons – cost cutting or new business orientations. This could be a good opportunity on the job market, as new roles and talented people looking for changes could appear. Services: I haven’t seen any interesting job offers recently. What I can see on the other hand, are requirements from the employer’s side, which very often don’t align with true needs of a particular company. Building Materials: We haven’t experienced any visible changes so far, but the next year could bring some potential challenges.
- 9. Visegrad Group Baltics Number of published job ads on LinkedIn by region
- 11. Between Week 15 and Week 27 Southern Europe experienced the biggest loss out of all the regions (-28.28%) again. Portugal noted an increase of +3.65%, but Italy had the biggest decrease of all 36 observed countries for the second week in a row (-37.31%). Spain placed second to last with a -34.33% change. S O U T H E R N E U R O P E : G R E E C E , I T A L Y , P O R T U G A L , S P A I N
- 12. Iberia SEE
- 13. Western Europe
- 14. Selected quotes from CEOs & HR Directors - part 2 Pharma: It’s been a very good time for our company, we’ve seen more sales and clients. Publishing: As conferences, webinars and e-books are now more popular than ever, the center of business gravity has been moved online. This resulted in a decrease in physical distribution and, in consequence, lower turnover and lay-offs. Media: Closed theaters and cinemas resulted in more interest in digital solutions. The sales model had to be changed.
- 15. DACH BENELUX
- 16. In Week 27, the DACH Region noted the biggest increase in the number of job ads on LinkedIn out of all the regions (+30.15%). Germany, after placing last in Week 26, became a country with the biggest increase in Week 27 (+34.84%). D A C H : A U S T R I A , G E R M A N Y , S W I T Z E R L A N D
- 18. The European Union - part 2
- 19. 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." Tips for candidates: Useful observations & tips for candidates from one of our contacts
