Advice and Opinion

Fewer Vacancies, More Competition — How to Stand Out When the Job Market Tightens
There’s a familiar pattern in the UK job market right now: fewer vacancies, slower hiring and a sense that competition has sharpened almost overnight. The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics confirm what many jobseekers have been feeling — the number of available roles has fallen ...
Vacancy Numbers Hit a Four-Year Low — What It Means for Your Job Search Right Now
The latest data from Adzuna hit the job market like a cold blast of winter air: UK job vacancies have dropped to their lowest level since March 2021. For many people searching for work right now — especially those coming into November hoping for momentum before the new year — this news feels ...
Hiring Freeze or Strategic Slow-down? What Employers’ Caution Means for Today’s Jobseekers
Over the past few weeks, a particular phrase has been circulating in business headlines: “hiring freeze.” Some companies have announced delays. Others are reviewing budgets. And the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has publicly warned that elements of the new Employment Rights Bill could ...
Britain’s Youth Jobs Crisis: Nearly One Million Young People Locked Out of Work
The latest figures on youth unemployment landed with a thud that’s hard to ignore. Nearly one million young people in the UK — almost one in five aged between 16 and 24 — are now classed as NEET: not in employment, education or training. It’s the highest level in a decade. And behind that headline ...
Employers Are Focusing Less on Diversity — What This Means for Candidates from Underrepresented Backgrounds

How to Build a Career You Love — Even When You Feel Stuck
Most people don’t talk about the quiet moments when they realise something isn’t right in their working life. It’s rarely dramatic. It’s usually a small feeling that grows over time — the Sunday evening dread, the lack of energy when you switch on your laptop, the sense that you’re moving but not ...
The Missing Middle — Why Inclusion Has to Reach the Interview Room
Diversity doesn’t fail at the policy stage — it often fails in the interview room. Organisations can have the best intentions, great values, and glossy inclusion statements, but when it comes down to who gets hired, bias can still quietly shape the outcome. Recruitment isn’t just about attracting ...
Social Mobility Starts at the Job Ad
Fair recruitment isn’t just about who applies; it’s about who feels welcome to apply in the first place. Every job advert tells a story about opportunity — who it’s for, who’s expected, and who might quietly feel excluded. For all the progress in diversity and inclusion, class and social background ...
Let’s Talk About Neurodiversity — It’s Time Recruitment Caught Up
We talk a lot about diversity at work, but one area is still far behind the curve: neurodiversity. Too often, recruitment assumes that everyone thinks, communicates, and performs in the same way. That’s just not true. People with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, and other forms of neurodivergence ...
