Hays has unveiled deep workforce cuts as it intensifies cost-saving efforts amid a prolonged downturn in the global jobs market, reducing consultancy headcount by 14%.

For decades, work was designed around a fiction, that of the 'neutral' worker, an abstract individual assumed to be fully available, consistent, rational, and unaffected by bodily constraints. But this neutrality was never real.

Headhunters? More like breadhunters: On top of career coaching and résumé building, reverse-recruiting agencies often take the keys and apply to dozens of jobs on an applicant's behalf. In exchange, these startups can charge monthly fees north of $1,000 and/or take a cut of their clients' salaries once they find a job, per WSJ. A conventional recruiter told WSJ that he's somewhat uneasy about people handing reverse recruiters their LinkedIn or Workday logins, as well as the idea of charging job seekers.

I can tell an AI-generated resume from a mile away and it's not getting the interview. I'm looking for something that shows me the candidate knows their story but doesn't need five pages to convey it. Recruiters are quickly skimming to know your key practice areas, career level, the job titles you've held, notable companies and law firms you've worked for, and your key achievements.
