The UK is widely recognized as one of the most fiercely competitive markets for recruitment and staffing. It’s no surprise that there seems to be a trend for them to expand into the US. Since talking to Elliott Manning - London NYC Austin Charlotte Cape Town on THE SEARCH podcast, people from the UK have been asking me for help entering the US staffing market. UK people need to get through some red tape, including state-by-state registrations, tax IDs, compliance, etc. but these things can be outsourced. ATTN: US perm placement agencies need to set up staffing immediately,  because these guys from the UK are good. PS: What do you think of this British Invasion?

A fantastic first day at TA Tech, hearing about the pace of change in the market right now. A great fireside chat with Adam Gordon Maria Trivellato and Aurore LE PEUC'H ⚛️ EVIDEN on the topic of Tech, challenges of today and getting ready for tomorrow. Three takeaways; 1. Change and ‘The Exponential Age.’ We live in ‘interesting times.’ - The scale and pace of change happening today will only accelerate. - Our job is to embrace that change, be ready and support our teams to adapt and evolve - leveraging the many benefits of AI. 2. Gen-Z are a growing demographic. In fact they will overtake Baby Boomers in the full-time workforce this year. - They’re pragmatic, have a strong sense of self-agency and value authenticity. - Growing up amid uncertainty means that they expect and are more comfortable with change. - Connecting with Gen-Z on the right channel (think YouTube, Insta and other video formats) with an authentic message is key. 3. Hyper-personalisation is a thing - an important one - more than a trend. Candidates expect consumer-grade experiences - we should embrace this as an opportunity and ensure our messaging resonates with the identified audiences. The Future: A consistent theme on the need to join up technology and leverage the power AI and data.
