I've known Dan Cohen for some time now, and I'm really excited for him to have his first opportunity to get in front of the TEAM Network Members this Friday! 👏 Dan will be sharing his expertise on the importance of DEI data in recruitment – a topic we all know is critical as clients increasingly look for diverse and inclusive hiring solutions. This session will be packed with practical advice on how recruiters can begin their DEI journey, win more business, and truly differentiate their offerings. We’re all looking forward to this one! 🚀 #DEI #Recruitment #TEAMNetwork #DiversityAndInclusion #Webinar

As we move into 2025, our commitment at Investigo to solving Salesforce hiring headaches is unwavering. We proudly and diligently offer the following services: - Full-time recruitment/hiring - Onshore contract staffing And our two newer services, which you will hear much more about in 2025: - Near-shore staffing - Managed service support There is one question that we don't ask enough: What difficulties do Salesforce leaders have today? And how talent can help solve those difficulties? That was two questions... Sorry. Over the next 50 days, I plan to speak with 50 Salesforce leaders (with budgeting and hiring responsibilities) and understand their Salesforce headaches. If you would like to be one of those leaders, shoot me a DM or comment on this status, and we can schedule a call. I appreciate that there is much more in this for Investigo and me than for the people I'll be speaking with. But, I'm passionate about ensuring we build an offering at Investigo that adds value to the Salesforce ecosystem, and without these conversations and guidance, we are operating on assumptions, and we all know what assuming does... So please share this post, comment on it, and help me have 50 conversations in the next 50 days! I will share the results of these conversations at the end of Jan... Maybe in a video clip... If I overcome my fear of talking on camera!

To help investment funds access and attract the industry’s top talent, we need to have a fundamental view of the key motivators of the candidates they are targeting. First launched in 2016, Kea’s Talent Shift report is a deep dive into the motivations of candidates who are seeking moves into investing. This year, our Vice President of Research & Insights Dan Thomassen has refreshed our findings, surveying heaps of candidates across backgrounds to form the most comprehensive understanding of what really drives their motivations for the buy-side. Among other topics, our full 26-page report gives detailed insights into: 💡How candidate motivations have evolved since 2016 💡How motivations between men and women compare 💡How consultants and investment bankers differ in motivations 💡Key motivators for socially and ethnically diverse candidates This blog post provides a small window into the work we have done. But, do get in touch if you’d like a copy of the full report and to schedule a chat thereafter! #PrivateEquity #ExecutiveSearch #Insights

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.

A really interesting time for the technology hiring space. Positive news on inflation today will act as another step to improving market confidence. The prospect of rate cuts in the second half of the year has already had an impact in the amount of money the sector is raising at seed and series A,B & C level. With powder needing to be deployed I anticipate 18 months of increasing activity in this area. That impacts hiring. Earlier this week I spoke about rising confidence on candidates in employment to make a move. This will increase leading to churn in technology departments. Already we are seeing strong profiles receiving multiple offers. Whilst it may not be a return to the end of 2021/2022 levels, I predict a strong rise in demand and competition and, almost inevitably, another rise in wage inflation in the sector. Hiring processes need to be on point and efficient. Looking forward to speaking to 50 Asset Managers from Europe, the US and Asia this afternoon about what this means for recruitment and retention across all sectors.
