Market Overview To begin, a short apology for the lack of commentaries over the previous two quarters. It has been incredibly busy and sadly I did not manage to compile a sufficient amount of data to warrant a commentary. I will endeavour not to miss any further editions. The past three months have been fairly chaotic for recruitment not only within the financial and profess...

For the fifth year in a row, we were delighted to attend and sponsor the HR Management Congress in Berlin in June. As always, , the ambience, speakers and the participants were top-class. In midsummer temperatures, around 1500 HR professionals exchanged views on topics such as digitisation, demography, diversity and took part in case studies and workshops including some exci...
