(UK) Are there any fully remote positions available, or is the trend shifting entirely to hybrid models? As a remote Project Manager seeking new opportunities, I’ve noticed that most roles are now hybrid. I’m faced with the difficult choice of sacrificing a significant part of my work-life balance for a more satisfying job.

Reaching Out to My Recruiter for New Opportunities
Hi everyone,
I’m seeking some guidance. I’ve been in my current position for about a year and a few months, and I owe my success in securing this role to an outstanding recruiter.
As I’m now looking to transition to a new opportunity, I’m considering whether it would be a good idea to reach out to the recruiter who helped me before.
What do you think is the general sentiment from recruiters about this? I’m thinking that since he’s already familiar with my skills and background, he might be able to assist me in finding a new role more efficiently.
Thank you in advance for your insights!

Entry-Level Jobs: A Misleading Term
I’ve spent the last few months searching for positions in accounting and finance, but I’m finding that even for entry-level roles, companies expect candidates to have at least six months of relevant experience. Despite holding a Master’s degree, I haven’t had much luck securing a position. Graduating during the COVID-19 pandemic means I’m no longer eligible for graduate schemes, which adds to my frustration. I’ve also tried applying for retail jobs, but after interviews, I often receive rejections. On top of that, recruiters frequently reach out to me, promising updates on opportunities, only to go silent afterwards.
I’m feeling really lost and disheartened, and it’s exacerbating my depression and anxiety. I’ve been actively seeking help, but the job search is becoming overwhelming. Each morning, I start off motivated, but by nightfall, I find myself in tears once again, caught in this exhausting cycle.
I’m open to any feedback and would genuinely appreciate any advice or support. Thank you!

Exploring AI in Recruitment
Hello, Recruiters! With my experience in both corporate roles and running my own business, I know firsthand how challenging the hiring process can be for everyone involved.
I’ve been contemplating a product concept where candidates can upload their resume, LinkedIn profile, and any other relevant information. The AI would then search through all available job postings worldwide to identify suitable matches. Once potential matches are found, a qualified recruiter can provide further assessment and support.
Does such a solution already exist in the market? If so, how effective and reliable is it? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Facing challenges in generating leads for prospective clients
I recently joined a recruitment agency specializing in the crypto sector. While it’s a niche market, as many of you know, strong business often relies on a solid stream of leads. In the blockchain space, particularly in data science, finding exceptional candidates with both current interviewing opportunities and substantial experience is quite difficult.
As a result, my lead generation has been limited, leaving me with few options to pursue. I’ve only been in this role for four months, and the pressure from management is starting to mount.
I’m seeking advice or creative strategies for identifying target companies and generating leads. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Many employees mentally check out long before they formally resign! A company doesn’t truly lose an employee on their last day; the decline often begins in their mindset well in advance. Fortunately, this disengagement is often preventable!
