Hi friends,
Let’s be honest, the digital advertising job market has been bleak. Multiple rounds of layoffs from companies big and small. If you’re unfortunate enough to lose your job it all becomes very real and those impacted I’m sure have been just trying to find ways to get through and those in jobs are (or should be!) probably more grateful than ever.
However, it’s expected the digital advertising job market will return to much healthier levels with jobs coming back on the market through the summer in preparation for Q4. You don’t need to take my word for it, take it from Ed Steer who runs Sphere Digital Recruitment - one of the largest staffing firms for the digital ad industry.
I got to record a chat with Ed recently and we cover;
The digital skills gap (particularly how the pandemic held back the hiring of grads)
How & what candidates should be doing when preparing for a role
How the hiring process is changing
How the job market will return to much healthier levels later this year
Much more…
You can listen to the episode HERE or on your preferred podcast player.
I hope you enjoy the episode and walk away with some practical tips and feeling a bit more optimistic about the outlook of the market.
Chat soon and stay safe,
Wayne
