𝗔𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 & 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁𝘀, here's how I've witnessed Founders break-free of competitive client-pitch processes & discounting, to build a thriving business. The number of people launching Fractional Consultancies has rocketed over the last few years. From conversations with Founders, key reasons for this rise are: 😵💫 People & Talent leaders feeling jaded by the recent bust, boom, bust cycle; resulting in them having to undo lots of their good work in the face of cost-cutting, and feeling apprehensive about embarking on this process once again in a new role 🧱 With a shortage of permanent job opportunities on the market of late, people are launching their own Consulting business as a better alternative to taking a perm job that doesn't truly excite them. With increasing competition, consultancies that sustain will have developed a brand reputation that sets them apart from others - this video lays out how that can be done. Who have you seen do this successfully?

UK People & Talent job market update, as of late Q2. I'm just back from holiday, so will be making contact with as many of you as I can to discuss the market and progress with your job search. There has been a positive shift in sentiment since Feb this year. The volume and profile of vacancies is beginning to feel more 'normal'. Whilst it's still a competitive market, the gradual upward trend should provide more prosperous conditions for job-seekers post-summer holiday season and beyond. Hawkwood

📣 Senior Talent Acquisition Partner Opportunity I am absolutely thrilled to be kicking off another Talent search this week. It's been really encouraging to see the market pick up over the past 4-6 weeks; so hopefully we see that continue as we move into Q3! 🙌 I'm currently partnering with a hugely successful Generative AI start-up, who have developed an industry-leading product. Backed by incredible AI investors, this high-impact organisation is on an upward trajectory, and expects to embark on a period of growth... 📈 I’m looking for an experienced Go-To-Market Recruiter who is keen to get stuck into delivering on key hires, but also has an interest in wider TA initiatives.

Are you open to relocating to Paris, to join one of the most disruptive Generative AI businesses? 🇫🇷 If so, I’m currently recruiting on behalf of a leading Tech start-up who are at the forefront of developing AI technology. 👀 Guided by visionary founders with backgrounds in esteemed DeepTech companies, this business has quickly gained recognition, establishing itself as a strong European competitor to a US-headquartered, AI scale-up. As they grow and further develop their product, the time has come to onboard a Talent Acquisition Lead to support the evolution and growth of the business... ✔ This is a fantastic opportunity to work directly with a Head of Talent Acquisition to take the Talent agenda to the next level. They're a fast-growing, ambitious business and they're creating an environment in which their people will thrive. We're looking for someone who is action-orientated, understands Deep Tech, and is passionate about hiring the very best talent! ⚙️ If you would be interested in finding out more, please use the link below to register your interest.👇🏼

The market is improving, and Hawkwood have decided to share some data to help illustrate the direction of travel. While the People & Talent job market is still challenging, we're seeing signs of improvement and hope this information provides encouragement to those seeking a new role currently. 📈 Hiring demand has settled at a much higher level than H1 2023; even allowing for inflation-adjustments to revenues 😐 Revenue from VC-backed companies flat, and placements heavily weighted towards replacement, rather than newly-created roles up to now... 🆕 Q2 2024 data showing that both of these are shifting for the better 🏖️ Summer may require patience, but broad trend suggests Sept-Nov could a relatively better period for job seekers due to upward trend and lack of holiday-related interruptions 🪙 Uplift in news relating to fundraises and M&A (particularly in Gen-AI), where we are now securing a notable number of new clients

I'm currently partnering with a highly successful Tech Consultancy in their search for a Talent Acquisition Lead. This is a fantastic opportunity to work closely with a small People team to take the Talent agenda to the next level. As the standalone Talent Lead you will play a crucial role in delivering on key hires whilst also spearheading Talent initiatives. We're looking for someone who is action-orientated, data-driven, and passionate about driving a forward-thinking, progressive talent machine! ⚙️ To ensure everyone receives a consistent experience, I would kindly request that you apply via this LinkedIn advert, as opposed to sending me an email or LinkedIn direct message.

Hawkwood have collaborated with a software engineer to build a Chrome Extension which helps prevent Recruitment teams from unknowingly approaching candidates who are off-limits (working for a client, non-compete, etc)❌ Bycatch is a simple, but effective, solution to a problem that can be very reputationally damaging. Crucially, it seems to be a need not currently served by LinkedIn or recruitment CRM's. You can find a link to the tool in the comments below 🔽 More generally, if you are a passionate agency Recruiter interested in working for an entrepreneurial agency that promotes creativity, please consider Hawkwood by taking a look at our website ⭐
