As the year draws to a close, it's a time to reflect and recharge. It’s been a long and challenging year for many, and we hope this holiday season brings you precious moments with loved ones and a chance to relax (perhaps with a mug of mulled wine!). 🎄🍷 🤶 This year, we’ve been fortunate to connect with incredible professionals – those who’ve inspired, guided, and supported our journey. Thank you for being part of our story. Wishing you all a joyful Christmas break, and we look forward to collaborating in the new year! 🌟 #ThankYou #HolidayGreetings #SeasonalWishes #Gratitude #BusinessRelationships #HappyHolidays #MarketResearch #ResTech

🎄 A Season to Reflect and Reset 🎄 For many, December feels like a wrap-up celebration, holiday, and well-earned time off. But if you’ve faced redundancy this year (or just before Xmas), it might feel different. It’s easy to get lost in “what’s next?” or focus on setbacks. PAUSE. This Christmas holiday can be your chance to reposition and reflect on the wins you might overlook: ✨ The project you led that made a difference. ✨ The team you inspired and developed. ✨ The resilience and growth you’ve shown, even when things didn’t go to plan. I’ve worked with candidates who felt like they were starting from scratch after redundancy - until they REFRAMED their story: * A client-facing Quant AD who repositioned his ‘layoff’ as the perfect pivot to the ResTech industry. * A Director who turned redundancy into time spent rediscovering his leadership strengths. * An insights professional who has been using December to refine her pitch and secure a new freelancer opportunity by January. If you’re rethinking your path this Christmas: ✔️ Focus on achievements, not setbacks. ✔️ Ask yourself what you LOVED doing most this year! ✔️ Write down the skills you want to take into 2025. Sometimes, the unexpected pause brings clarity. Your story isn’t ending - it’s evolving. 💛 hashtag #CareerGrowth #RedundancySupport #CareerReflection #ProfessionalDevelopment #CareerAdvice #Resilience #CareerWins #CareerSuccess #MarketResearch #ResTech

Monday's Hiring Inspiration from Joanna Byerley at Talent Pools.ai 😉 - Technical Research Skills are important - but EQ is TIMELESS!💡 Let me explain ... The rapid pace of change in AI and technology is redefining what makes a candidate truly stand out. While qualitative and quantitative technical research skills remain vital, companies are now prioritising something equally impactful: Emotional Intelligence (EQ). SOFT SKILLS like EQ are the future of work. EQ - the ability to manage emotions, communicate effectively, and build relationships - allows research leaders to thrive, teams to collaborate, and insights to create meaningful impact. The most successful hires I’ve helped place excel in two areas: 🟠 Deep technical expertise in qualitative or quantitative research 🟠 Exceptional EQ: they bring people together, manage challenges calmly, and deliver actionable insights Examples in action: 1) A senior hire in Quantitative Research recently joined a global insights team. Their high EQ helped align competing stakeholder priorities, ensuring the data didn’t just speak - but that the business listened. 2) A Qualitative Research Director turned around a struggling team. By fostering open dialogue, rebuilding trust, and mentoring others, they elevated project outcomes and team performance. Strong technical research skills are essential, but without EQ: ✔ Insights remain buried in silos ✔ Collaboration breaks down ✔ Critical conversations stall progress Companies I partner with are now actively seeking leaders who combine technical brilliance in qual and quant research with the soft skills to communicate, align teams, and drive strategy forward. Are you focusing on EQ alongside technical skills in your hiring process? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Let’s connect. I help businesses secure leaders who combine research expertise and emotional intelligence - because insights are only as powerful as the people who deliver them. --> Book a call with me: https://lnkd.in/ej9tEeRA #Leadership #ResearchTalent #FutureOfWork #HiringTrends #Qualitative #Quantitative #ResTech
