The Job Market Has Changed! But Have You?

Remember the days, when you would upload a CV/Resume to a Job Board (it didn't matter which one) or you would register with a recruitment company, one that was either local to you, or specialised in your sector.

Within minutes, you would have phone calls, txt messages, emails, of different jobs and opportunities, desperate for you to interview!

You could leave a job, without a job and within a week, you would have 2-3 offers on the table!

It wasn't even a thing to worry about, it was just a given that you would get a job.

Not anymore I am afraid!

Now, we are in a world that has changed, but certain industries haven't caught up, or processes and practices aren't yet fit for purpose.

So lets break it down and understand why we are where we are and what has caused this dramatic change.

Well, we cant ignore Covid and this isn't a blame game, where I am looking for an easy out and just blaming Covid. Covid isn't the change, but it was the catalyst.

Pre Covid, the majority of people worked from offices and you typically looked for a role that was within a 30-45 minute commutable distance, which meant the options for work were limited, but as were the options for talent.

Post Covid, the whole world went remote, which meant that talent pools were now nationwide, or even global, so being a specific person with a specific skillset in a specific area, suddenly lost its pull, as people could essentially access anyone and anywhere.

This has led to huge amounts of applicants per role, in excess of 500 on average globally.

• The US has 5million open Jobs on LinkedIn yet 35million people open to work and all will be looking at remote jobs.
• The UK has 500k open jobs on LinkedIn and 5million people open to work, and again, all will be looking at remote jobs.

Is it any wonder you cant get hired?

We then throw in the expansion and accessibility of Social Media, giving everyone access to everyone and suddenly you can see why you are getting ghosted or being rejected.

Of course, we cant ignore AI, which has been seen as the saviour of a lot of markets, but in regards to Jobs/Hiring and Recruitment, its having the adverse effect, with systems not accurately assessing or screening, meaning more people than ever are being lost or ignored.

The world has change and sadly, unless you change, you are going to be left out in the cold!

We have to accept this reality, as the alternative choice just doesn't work and it means unemployment, homelessness and in some cases worse.

We have to accept that the world has changed and the industry has changed and if we don't adapt and get on board, pretty bloody quickly, it is going to pass us by.

Now we aren't standing by and accepting this and we aren't going to sit back and let people and companies struggle and suffer, when its so clear what needs to be done, so we are fighting and we are disrupting and we are levelling the playing field with our tools, our experience and our resources.

Firstly, we have built The Hub a Job Search Support Platform that utilises Tom Wood 23 years of Recruitment and Talent experience, alongside industry leading Intelligent AI, to essentially counter the challenges of the job market and to give you the tools and the knowledge to get ahead.

It is a monthly subscription, because we have real people and resources and tools that cost money to run, but it is only ￡16 ($19.99) so we hope most people can access it.

Following this, we are developing a series of B2B tools that we will be launching in the market to support Recruitment companies and Hiring companies, to enable them to hire and recruit effectively and to remove a lot of the barriers that are currently in place.

So we get it! We understand the challenges and we understand the pain and frustration and we are helping to fight back.

Right now, if you can afford it, I would join The Hub www.thehub.app and start getting the help you need.

We will help you with:

• ATS Readability - To ensure you get through all applications processes successfully
• LinkedIn Review
• Job Matching - To ensure you align to roles you are applying and appear high up the list of applicants, to get seen by a real person.

So look, the world isn't going anywhere and its not going to suddenly revert back to what we once knew, so all we can do is utilise the help and support around us and do our best to overcome the odds and move forward.

That is what The Hub is, its a resource to level the playing field and to give the power back to the people and to take some control back in the job Search process.
