Choosing a recruitment company is a strategic decision in job hunting. Recruiters can provide access to non-public roles and market intelligence, but they can also introduce misaligned incentives and reduced control. This article explains how recruitment companies work, how to evaluate them, when to use them, when not to, and lists concrete recruitment agencies in the US, UK, and Europe.

When it comes to job hunting, the number of applications you send matters far less than your strategy, preparation, and timing. You could apply to dozens of companies and still receive no offers if you approach the process randomly. So how can you increase your chances of landing a role that truly fits your skills and goals? This article outlines a practical approach that focuses on what really matters.

Candidates who are highly valued in the job market share clear, practical traits beyond skills or resumes. This article explains how market perspective, clarity, and repeatable thinking influence hiring decisions.

The global job market in 2026 is entering a phase that cannot be explained by short-term economic cycles alone. Structural changes in how work is defined, valued, and organized are reshaping career paths across industries and regions. Job changes are no longer isolated events triggered only by dissatisfaction or opportunity; they are increasingly part of an ongoing career strategy.

When people think about changing jobs, the first question is often, “Is now a good time to move?” While hiring trends do matter, successful job changes are rarely determined by timing alone. What matters more is whether the transition is planned realistically, with clear milestones and adaptable goals. Job searching is not an event; it is a process that unfolds over months, not weeks.

Many people think a job search begins with browsing listings, updating a résumé, or contacting recruiters. In reality, the outcome of a job search is often determined before any application is sent. The most decisive step happens earlier: structured self-assessment.

Career transitions are often discussed as if the same rules apply to everyone. In reality, how people change jobs—and how employers evaluate those moves - varies significantly by age and career stage. What works in your twenties can become a liability in your forties, while strategies that are effective later in a career would be unrealistic early on.
