Let’s be real - are you 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 more productive working from home, or is that just what we all tell ourselves? According to a Stanford study, working from home resulted in a 10-20% drop in productivity levels. Why? Communication hurdles, learning challenges, and self-motivation. (Yep - I know you’re shopping online right now 🙂)  But on the flip side, McKinsey’s 2024 survey found that 87% of employees who have the option to work remotely report increased productivity due to fewer distractions, interruptions, and shorter commuting times. Plus, they’ve noticed improvements in their mental health, too. Ultimately, it factors down to perspective on how productive you 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 you are, your working style, and where you believe your best work gets done. So, we’re curious– what’s your honest take on companies requiring being in-office? Are you more productive at home, in the office, or is it all the same to you?

💥 The 'September Surge' is REAL and it’s HERE 💥 🔍  'September Surge' refers to the uptick in new jobs and roles at companies after the summer holidays. Here’s why: 1. Vacation is over - Everyone’s back from traveling, kids are going back to school and job seekers are motivated to level up in their careers. 2. Companies are filling roles before the holiday slump and making use of allocated budgets before they expire at the end of the year. For job seekers 🔽 👉 Take any and all interviews to brush up on your interviewing skills.  👉 Update your LinkedIn profile with a fresh photo, toggle “open to work”,  and start connecting with recruiters. 👉Create a job tracker (like a Google sheet or Airtable) to stay organized with the roles you’re interested in and applying for. For employers  🔽 👍 Be clear about your roles like location, salary, etc and highlight non-negotiable experience at the very top. 👍 Define who the stakeholders are signing off on this to speed up decision making because talent moves fast! 👍 Use a recruiting agency (like us) to find killer talent! 😀 Connect with us and stay up to date with new jobs and trends!
