It’s hard for any of us to ignore that the world is in the grips of a crisis. It is in times like this of mass uncertainty and economic instability that many Cambridge companies have to make difficult decisions, often leading to redundancies.

If you looked back at 2020, what would you remember? It would be easy to look back and feel like 2020 was enshrouded in a dark cloud. But it’s important to remember that this is only a tiny chapter in our lives - by no means is it the whole book!

The role of leadership has ramped up dramatically over the past week and the tools and processes we used for managing teams are under scrutiny like never before. Now more than ever the definition of leadership as influencing others to willingly do what you want them to is being tested.

A study commissioned by the Belgian government has found that if the UK were to leave the EU in a no-deal Brexit, 1.2 million jobs will be lost across Europe. And the UK will pay the largest price, losing almost 500,000 jobs.

As the average life expectancy continues to increase and retirement ages get pushed back, our working lives are increasing. How much time are you going to spend in a career that you don’t love?

When you’re hiring, how often do you take a candidate’s transferable skills into account?

We all know how important it is to look after your company’s brand reputation when hiring – but how is your own recruiting reputation?

As an HR or line manager, it’s likely that you’ve dealt with plenty of employee fall-out. Whether it’s caused by one employee behaving badly, or a misunderstanding that escalated... often, communication is the culprit. It can make or break a situation (and a team).

Career management coach Katherine Wiid of Career Ambitions writes: "I’ve been inundated in the first quarter of 2019 with new clients who have been made redundant. In fact, I had 25 clients who were made redundant in March alone! While your first thoughts may be of panic ('what’s going on?' and 'will I be next?'), it’s not all bad news.

The word on the street is that the job market is slowing down. Many are blaming it on Brexit, but is it actually just a case of panic setting in?

Almost half of the UK workforce is in a role that doesn’t match up with their skill set. This startling research from the CIPD goes some way to explaining why in the UK we have a large number of unmotivated, unchallenged employees who aren’t excited about what they’re doing.

How often do you hear the phrase ‘skills shortage’? And how has it affected your experience of recruiting? In 2018, candidates seem to be at an all time low. There just aren’t enough talented people to fill the roles available, and recruitment managers are reporting that hiring is harder than ever.

Brexit is causing an increasing number of UK companies to restructure. Uncertainty is at an all time high. As it looks like we are moving towards a hard Brexit, many UK companies and their employees feel they are on shaky ground. But what does this mean for employers and employees in reality and what can we do about it?

At the Cambridge Network Recruitment Evening on 4th July 2018, Career Ambitions asked candidates about their career motivations. The results were clear – candidates are prioritising satisfaction when it comes to work.

When you’re recruiting, how often do you Google a candidate’s name? Pretty often, if the stats are anything to go on (more than a third admit to it, but we bet it’s higher!)

Is your organisation struggling to recruit? Can’t fill your job vacancies fast enough? Finding it hard to attract the perfect candidate?
28-03-2018
With the shortage of people to fill jobs, there’s never been a better time to reevaluate your recruitment strategy. 2018 is the year to question your biases. As an interviewer, are you trying to recruit someone like you?

Robots already play a huge role in the UK workplace. But recent research predicts that over four million jobs will be lost to robots within the next 10 years – a statistic that will rock the job market.

2017 has been a year full of change - from Brexit to significant leadership shifts and the resultant ever-fluctuating job market. With change comes opportunity - but what does that mean for the world of work in the year ahead?

Who could have predicted the course of events that we’ve seen over the past 12 months? Some might say Bill Gates, or even The Simpsons! A global pandemic was certainly not factored into my plans. Was it factored into yours? Or has the pandemic prompted an unexpected level of change...
