❌ Biggest mistake we're seeing on CVs right now…

People are listing responsibilities instead of RESULTS.

Employers want to see:
✔️ Generated £150K in fees in 12 months
✔️ Consistently hit 120% of target

Listing your tasks tells them what you did. Listing your results tells them what you can do for their business. 📈

If your CV isn't getting responses, this is the first thing to fix. Make it impossible for a hiring manager to scroll past you.

Hiring right now? 🤔

There’s been a lot of talk recently about the market slowing down.

But from what we’re seeing day to day, the work definitely hasn't stopped. It just feels a bit more considered.

Employers are taking a bit more time to make sure they get the right fit, and candidates are weighing things up more carefully too.

When everyone is being more deliberate, the gap between securing a great hire and missing out gets much smaller. That’s where we come in, giving both sides a clear idea of what’s actually happening on the ground so they can move with confidence.

Different pace, not a dead market. ❌

Saw a really interesting post from on LinkedIn around hiring trends and candidate conversion 👀

And honestly, a lot of it lines up with what we’re seeing day to day.

The challenge for businesses now isn’t necessarily attracting applicants.

It’s getting the right people genuinely engaged in the opportunity and keeping momentum throughout the process.

Some of the stats were pretty eye-opening:

📉 Offer acceptance rates have dropped from 74% in Q2 2023 to 51% in Q2 2025
📉 35% of candidates are reneging on accepted offers
📉 25% of employers report new hires not showing up on Day 1
📉 34% of Gen Z admit to accepting offers they never intended to honour

And honestly, that shift isn’t great for anyone.

Recruitment takes time, energy and commitment from both sides, so candidates dropping out late in the process or accepting offers they never intended to take creates frustration all round.

Feels like communication, transparency and candidate experience matter more than ever now.

Interesting to see how quickly the market dynamics have changed.

Job hunting can feel like a full-time job in itself 😅

The nerves, the second guessing, the endless tabs open… we’ve all been there.

Really pleased we could play a part in helping someone land a role that genuinely feels right for them.

It’s a big decision, so being trusted with that process always means a lot 🙏

The Fair Work Agency is now live, and enforcement is starting to step up.

From what we’re seeing, it’s not really about new rules catching people out.

It’s more the things that naturally build up over time 👀

📃 contracts that haven’t been reviewed in a while
💵 payroll processes that have evolved as teams have grown
❌ policies that haven’t quite kept pace
⚙️ systems that don’t fully align

Nothing unusual, just the reality of running a busy business.

But with more visibility on this now, it’s probably a good time for a quick sense-check.

Especially if things have grown or changed recently.

Stop dressing up a dead-end role as an “opportunity.” People can tell because they’re not stupid.

Too many job adverts are still wrapped in vague promises and ‘fast-paced environment’ language when what they actually mean is:

👉 they’re not offering any real progression
👉 there are unclear expectations
👉 it’s a role that hasn’t evolved in years

Then they wonder why people aren’t excited to apply. Baffling. 🙄

The reality is that the talent of today is far more switched on than it’s given credit for. People can spot recycled job descriptions and roles that file gaps a mile off, and when they do they move swiftly on.

From my experience, jobseekers aren’t just looking for a job anymore. What they actually want is direction and an opportunity that actually leads somewhere.

If you’re struggling to attract the right people, it might not be a ‘talent shortage,’ it might actually be a messaging problem.

If a role you’re trying to fill is genuinely good, you shouldn’t need to over-sell it. If you do… it probably isn’t.

We’ve lost track of how times hiring managers have told me they’ve invited an applicant to an interview and they’ve had the silent treatment. 👻

No reply or no decline. Just a really obvious silence.

Over the years, we've had loads of great conversations with job-seekers who seem so excited about a role and are keen to hear more, only for them to disappear the moment we send the details they’ve asked for.

Same with interviews. All enthusiasm beforehand… then nothing. 🙄

At this point, it’s either:

1. there’s a Bermuda Triangle specifically for people who’ve spoken to recruiters
or
2. basic manners are taking a really big hit

We know where our money’s going.

The reality is, it’s often easier for people to ignore a call or message than to send a quick ‘thanks, but no thanks.’ But people remember, so if you’ve ghosted someone before, don’t be surprised if they’re not exactly rolling out the red carpet for you later down the line.
