The type of clouds (cirrus, stratus, cumulus, nimbus), their size, location, direction and
speed of movement can give an indication as to what the weather has in store
over the coming two days: storm, sun, snow, ice or rain. In other words, dreamy, thin,
wispy clouds bring something different than fluffy, cotton wool style clouds.
The art of interpreting signals (precursors of trends) is - and always has been -
important in navigating financial markets and economies. If you are an
experienced manager or executive who wants to manage their career and/or job
search processes wisely, look at the signals of the job market which are
inseparably embedded in the VUCA landscape of today's world.

We started by monitoring the number of LinkedIn job ads in 18 European
countries in Week 13 of 2020 (mid-March) – and extended our observations to
ultimately 38 countries in Europe since Week 15. This allows us to measure a KPI
that gives quite a good feel of the overall trend on the global job market.
We analyze the collected figures and complement the quantitative data with
detailed and personal statements & insights of CEOs, HR Directors, investors,
board members, candidates and headhunters that we know personally. We
observe if and what kind of trends there are to leverage them into better
candidate management & more effective job search methods.

Week 13 (2020) to Week 05 (2022)
Note: some job ads might
have been taken off
LinkedIn, not because
the recruitment process was
put on hold or canceled,
but because they are costly,
especially if you have
dozens of them. A
company might have
wanted to simply cut costs
and move to more cost
effective alternatives. Some
local job portals are offering
substantial discounts. These
are the initial 18 countries
that we tracked.
