It's springy - March 2025
Who is hiring?
March 2025 reflects a complex web of economic, technological and geopolitical factors; after a period of robust growth, the labour market has slowed noticeably.
Since his return to the White House in January, US President Donald Trump has threatened and imposed a series of new tariffs.
The tariffs, which are aimed at key trading partners of the US, could change traditional trade relations and cause considerable uncertainty in the global economy.
As a result, many companies are expanding hybrid and fully remote workplaces to attract diverse talent, but the unemployment rate is rising.
In any case, professionals with expertise in AI, data science, cloud computing and cybersecurity remain in high demand; the same is true for the public sector with roles in healthcare, education and infrastructure.

Top HR and work-related articles
AI is the hot topic of the moment, also in HR.
Too many applicants pretend to be smart by creating their resumes using artificial intelligence tools; what they don’t realise is that an experienced Recruiter can spot this, especially if the resumes are created in a hurry, they can easily spot traces.
Canva’s recent survey found that over 57% of job seekers use AI to create their resumes. However, the first step to integrating AI into your resume is to view the tools as a complement to human skills, not a replacement.
Indeed.com's article gives you some tips on how to add a human touch to your resume to hide the “bot help”.

This is the painful, telltale story of why a job offer in hand is always worth more than 10 in the queue.
Job seekers go on several interviews and finally get an offer from a company.
But the job they want isn’t filled yet, so they think, “I’ll just tell this company I have other opportunities and need more time”.
