Let’s be real – it’s hardly a joyful time right now for careers in hiring. It’s been 3 years since the world turned upside down but we don’t really talk about the reasons much anymore. Time has passed. It’s not in the news like it used to be. It’s left us feeling like we are…
Hello TWIT Readers! Firstly, I would like to thank the ATC crew for giving me a crack at this for the month of April, I hopefully will learn a lot, maybe share some common struggles and hopefully some solutions too! But who am I? My name is Simon, and I lead the Melbourne contingent of…

Why have so many recruiting departments been wiped out during these recent layoffs over the past few weeks? Recruiters have been one of the hardest hit professions as firms discard them with what seems very little thought.
