For many months following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, economists and business experts alike made projections about what the future held for the economy and the job market.

How to Find Your Top Potential before You Pivot Your Career

While there may be newer reasons to pivot your career—from AI making more and more workers redundant to workplaces now mandating a return to offices for the first time since the outbreak of COVID-19—doing so is certainly not a new concept. What is new, however, are the high stakes of doing so. Earlier this year, inflation reached an all-time high, and costs of education and other training leaving countless in debt for years, even decades at a time. Pivoting, these days, can be especially devastating if it's not into the right industry. So, how do you know you're ready for…

This week, two major cities in British Columbia made headlines in LinkedIn news as having the highest demand for remote work.

The Best Ways to Offer Your Employees Feedback on Their Work

Picture this: you've been working hard to deliver a great product to your clients—one that you and your team have been working on for weeks, even months at a time. And suddenly, an employee hands in something subpar. And this isn't just something that can slide. This time, it's something that needs to be reworked, and something the employee needs to hear feedback on. So, you go over to their desk and lean over them to offer them some feedback on what you just received. But before you say anything, the employee's face flushes a bright red and before long,…

Hiring Process Frustration Is Real—Here’s How to Fix It

22 May 2025
Hiring is harder than ever. The hiring process frustration leaves both business owners and job seekers feeling stuck—but it doesn’t have to be this way.

How Recruiters Can Outperform AI (By Working WITH It)

15 May 2025
In today’s hiring landscape, recruiters are discovering the power of collaboration—learning how to work with AI to outperform it rather than compete against it.

By combining AI’s strengths with their own expertise, recruiters can make smarter, faster, and more personalized hiring decisions. Let AI Do the Heavy Lifting Administrative tasks like resume screening, interview scheduling, and candidate communication can consume up to 30% of a recruiter’s time.

Job Descriptions Are Full of Lies – Let’s Be Honest About Hiring

8 May 2025
It’s time to address a quiet truth in recruiting: most job descriptions are misleading. While they may help fill roles faster, they often don't reflect the reality of the position. Shifting toward more honest job descriptions is not only essential for setting proper expectations but also crucial for improving retention, trust, and overall hiring success. Recruiters today face a paradox: in an effort to compete for top talent, job descriptions are often embellished with buzzwords, vague perks, and promises that don't quite match reality. The result? A growing gap between candidate expectations and the actual experience of the role—leading to…

According to a report by Jobscan, 75% of resumes are never seen by a human because keyword-based ATS systems filter them out before reaching hiring managers. Many businesses rely on Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) to streamline their hiring process. However, these systems often prioritize keywords over actual qualifications, leading to missed opportunities for top talent.
