I’m looking at the poll and see ‘im new to the industry’ in the lead. I assume it’s early responders and that number to drop a bit.
Anyways, the market seems to slowly pick up. When I look at how many jobs are getting posted, and at how many companies are not posting them due to the insane inbound and just working with referrals.. it looks a bit better.
The downside is that, and I said this last year, the market is saturated with recruiters. At that time people laughed at that statement, but now, with every open position getting thousands of applicants (not even just MAANG) it is very visible.
I have a feeling that 2024 will still be a year where many recruiters will start on their own, only to find that most laid off recruiters are doing the same which is leading to an explosion of ‘agencies’. And freelancers fishing in a very small pond of clients. This will lead to people dropping out of the recruitment domain as they find out that they have transferable skills. They’ll just need to adjust to a different pay, but that’s also a market trent. Recruiter salaries getting normalized again.
Honestly, I was very lucky when I found a new position and I owe it to being very ‘visible’. As my normal applications were very hit and miss
I agree the 'new to industry' is a surprise, but I wonder whether this is also due to time zone perhaps? Maybe a lot of recruiters joining the industry GMT+ time zone, maybe as a process of optimisation by companies going for cost arbitrage.
Tough market for sure, I think the happy talk of 2024 being much different from 2023 is gone, and we are girding ourselves for some tough yards. We have to stick together, build stronger networks, higher profiles and greater capabilities for the future ahead. I think we can do it
Was looking forward to the LinkedIn tricks article and in truth, it just made me more weary if anything.
Good compilation again and truly looking forward to Bas’s work.
I think that it is great that you provide us with your platform to expand our reach. Will follow-up on this. 🙏🏻

thanks man, good comment.

We’ll definitely bounce back. But it will change, and I honestly think it’s for the better .
