Send us Fan MailThe Salesforce job market is finally showing a pulse, but it is not a comeback story. We sit down with Sasha Semyonova, a leading tech journalist at Salesforce Ben, to unpack what the latest hiring signals really mean for Salesforce careers, from admins and developers to architects and ISVs. If you have been watching job boards fill up with “unicorn” roles and deflating salaries, you are not imagining it, and we explain why it keeps happening.We talk candidly about the realities candidates face right now: market saturation, ghost jobs, layoffs, and the growing influence of AI on staffing decisions. Sasha shares what she is seeing across the Salesforce ecosystem, including the shift toward specialized specialists who can blend platform knowledge with business analysis, architecture thinking, and practical AI skills. We also dig into why blasting out AI-generated resumes is a losing strategy for most people and how being undeniably human can still cut through the noise when everyone else looks the same on paper.Then we look ahead. Headless Salesforce, a Slack-first workflow, Agentforce, and rapid UI changes are reshaping how users interact with the platform and what employers will expect next. For ISVs and partners, we cover the pressure to build agent-oriented solutions and the simple question that matters most: what do customers actually want from AI?Subscribe for more honest market breakdowns, share this with someone job hunting in Salesforce, and leave a review with your biggest question about where the ecosystem is headed next.

Episode 165 with guest Joel Barnett, Founder of Fortune Hill  The second in our mini-series on how marketing roles are changing, in this episode we highlight what the job market looks like right now, including: why so many senior roles are disappearing or being restructured, what companies are looking for in marketing leaders today, the importance of role clarity and expectations, and job search advice.  Joining Abby is her guest Joel Barnett, Founder and CEO of Fortune Hill, who partners with ambitious organisations to appoint Marketing, Commercial, and HR leaders to supercharge business performance and enhance culture. With decades of experience placing marketing executives across some of the UK's most recognised brands, Joel shares his honest yet optimistic assessment of where the marketing profession currently stands - and what both leaders and organisations need to do differently.    Key takeaways  The CMO title is disappearing… More recruitment briefs are coming through as Chief Growth Officer or Chief Customer Officer, as the CMO role itself is being disaggregated  Why are CMO tenures getting shorter... Joel reflects that marketing leaders share some of the responsibility, through poorly managed expectations, a reluctance to have difficult conversations, and in some cases, overstating what they can and will deliver  The brief is broken… 75% of unsuccessful hires come down to a poorly constructed brief. Companies are hiring to solve a short-term problem, prioritising sector experience over the character traits that determine long-term success.  Tips for leaders... Hire first for character, then capability and finally experience - too often organisations hire the CV but fire what isn't CV-related.  Taking the reins of your job search... The job market is tough and there is a significant supply and demand imbalance right now. Joel's advice: treat your job search like a marketing campaign, be the driver not the passenger, and don't take a role just for the title.    00:00 — Welcome to the Whole Marketer Podcast  02:33 — Introducing Joel Barnett  03:00 — What Marketing Leadership Is Really For  05:12 — The CMO Title Is Disappearing — What's Replacing It  08:00 — The Disaggregation of the Marketing Role  12:28 — Marketing is Being Stretched and Squeezed Simultaneously  14:53 — The Most Important Trait in a Modern Marketing Leader  16:57 — The Leadership Piece People Overlook  19:23 — The Conversations Marketing Leaders Aren't Having  21:37 — Why CMO Tenure Is Shorter Than It Should Be  26:26 — The Cost of Tolerating Average  31:18 — Resilience, Coaching, and Not Going It Alone  33:38 — Why Senior Marketing Roles Are Being Cut  38:03 — The State of the Job Market Right Now  41:00 — How to Search for a Role Like a Marketer  45:28 — On Being Selective — and Knowing It's Never Too Late to Pivot  47:53 — How to Make a Better Senior Marketing Hire  50:19 — Hire for Character Before Credentials  53:00 — Joel's Advice: Learn the Language of the Room    Resources  The Whole Marketer 'Define your ideal role' resource – free download  https://thewholemarketer.com/resources/    The Whole Marketer 'Take the reins of your career' resource – free download  https://thewholemarketer.com/resources/    The Whole Marketer 'Develop your authentic leadership style' resource – free download  https://thewholemarketer.com/resources/    Are Marketers facing a clarity crisis? - Marketing Week article  https://thewholemarketer.com/mw-article-clarity/      Host: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abigailcdixon/  Guest: https://www.linkedin.com/in/joelbarnettfortunehill/    About The Whole Marketer  The Whole Marketer podcast is here to support and empower the people behind brands and businesses with the latest technical tools, soft and leadership skills and personal understanding for a fulfilling marketing career and life as a whole.   Did you know The Whole Marketer is more than a podcast and book?

Most people arrive in Dubai thinking the opportunities will find them. Jason Grundy has spent 25 years watching that assumption play out badly.  As Managing Director for the Middle East and Africa at Robert Walters, Jason has seen every side of the hiring market. The candidates who oversell themselves. The companies that leave great people waiting a month for feedback and wonder why they lost them.

The award-winning Compliance into the Weeds is the only weekly podcast that takes a deep dive into a compliance-related topic, literally going into the weeds to explore it in greater depth. Looking for some hard-hitting insights on compliance? Look no further than Compliance into the Weeds! In this episode of Compliance into the Weeds, Tom Fox and Matt Kelly discuss a recent slowdown in compliance and internal audit hiring, with more layoffs and fewer job openings over the last several months. Matt attributes the “frozen” market to broader economic uncertainty, tariffs, the war in Iran, which is driving higher energy costs, and erratic regulatory enforcement, all of which, combined with executives' indecision about AI's costs and impact, lead companies and employees to avoid change. They note structural competition at senior levels due to a larger, more experienced talent pool and the limited number of top roles, while acknowledging opportunities in compliance-adjacent paths such as HR, legal, governance, and integrity functions, depending on experience and credentials. Matt suggests focusing on interpersonal and cross-functional skills AI can't replace and highlights continued demand in trade compliance, whistleblowers, and anti-fraud/False Claims Act work. Key highlights: Compliance Job Market Shift Why Hiring Feels Frozen AI and Executive Uncertainty Talent Supply and Senior Roles Career Moves and Branding Where Hiring Still Happens Resources: Matt in Radical Compliance Tom Instagram Facebook YouTube Twitter LinkedIn A multi-award-winning podcast, Compliance into the Weeds was most recently honored as one of the Top 25 Regulatory Compliance Podcasts, a Top 10 Business Law Podcast, and a Top 12 Risk Management Podcast.

Is artificial intelligence actually to blame for a dimmer job market for new college grads? Or is it something else? The Federal Reserve Bank of New York is out with some new data that looks at these situations and it turns out, something else is to blame: remote work.

There is a lot of debate about the state of the job market today. We definitely hear a lot about layoffs in the big tech companies and also about AI eliminating positions. But AI may be having a bigger impact in the requirements for specific roles and even perhaps new types of roles. We will be having periodic conversations with leading recruiters, hiring managers, and others about the evolving job market and what it takes to get hired/noticed. Our first conversation is with Sally Thornton, CEO & Founder of Forshay, a firm that combines Executive recruiting with interim experts across Finance, HR, and Operations, and by aligning culture and leadership development skills to optimize team performance.02:17 Forshay Firm Overview03:27 Job Market Reality Check06:09 Entry Level Pipeline Crunch07:44 Where Hiring Is Growing08:33 What Employers Want Now09:56 Proving Curiosity in Interviews11:34 Influence as a Core Skill12:38 AI Transparency and Flatter Teams14:47 Fractional Leadership Explained19:36 How Orgs Are Reshaping for AI22:43 The Rise of the AI Scout24:55 Building an AI Experiment Team25:43 Choosing Tools That Fit27:16 AI in Hiring and Resume Filters29:19 Beating the Rejection Machine31:36 Community as Career Support32:14 AI as Reflective Hiring Partner34:37 Gut Instinct Versus Data37:40 Future Proofing Through Community39:56 Give More and Experiment Often41:16 Tools That Reduce Overwork43:42 Wrap Up and Where to Follow

The school year is wrapping up for high schoolers. Soon, some teens will put down their backpacks and pick up an ice cream scoop, or maybe a lifeguard whistle. It's the season of the summer job. But this year, it may be a bit harder to find one. Over the past year Minnesota lost more than 5,000 jobs in leisure and hospitality – sectors that tend to hire youth. In March, the teen unemployment rate was 13.2 percent, nearly double what it was in March 2025, according to data from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development. The higher unemployment rate could be a return to what was typical before the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Oriane Casale, assistant director of DEED's Labor Market Information Office. Casale joined Minnesota Now along with Billie Jo Greene, who helps teens find jobs as team leader of the Rural Minnesota Concentrated Employment Program in Bemidji.

In this episode of The Career Transition Experts, we share one of the most powerful and urgent career wake-up calls: AI is not coming, it is already here. And the professionals who are waiting for someone else to teach them may already be falling behind.Our guest explains what every career professional needs to hear right now regardless of industry. Stop waiting. Start experimenting. The job market is not going to slow down for anyone, and the only way to build real confidence with AI is to get in, let the tool fail, and learn from it. The people who will lead in tomorrow's hiring landscape are the ones teaching others today  not waiting to be taught.Our guest, Adam Smith, Director of AI Development and former Senior Software Engineering Manager, has dedicated years to experimenting with, applying, and championing AI across his organization. His hands-on approach to AI adoption has made him a recognized thought leader and a trusted voice on how professionals at every level can embrace these tools to accelerate their careers.You may contact him at asmith0935@gmail.comIf you're interested in how to apply these insights to gain traction in your job search, let's schedule a FREE Resume and Strategy Review session - click here for more information.

This week, Alyssa and Nadia record in mid-May as the heat, allergies, airplane noise, ambulances, and barking dogs set the scene. After a quick detour into neighborhood complaints, Alyssa brings the conversation to the real topic: money, and how Nadia is thinking about it as she nears the end of college.Nadia has one semester left, a co-op that pays slightly above Boston's minimum wage, and parental support that has always had a clear end date. Alyssa asks what it feels like to stand at the edge of that transition.Nadia shares that she isn't panicking, but she also doesn't feel fully at ease. Boston is expensive, her co-op pay only stretches so far, and she's aware that next semester may require working two jobs to make everything work. She reflects on past choices, like spending on her summer abroad in Greece, and the growing reality that she's getting closer to true financial independence.The conversation expands to the job market for Nadia's peers. Many seniors are still searching for offers, moving home, or taking whatever work they can find. Even in healthcare, where Nadia is headed, jobs may be available but often don't pay enough to live alone in Boston.Alyssa compares this to her own post-college experience during the dot-com boom, when jobs were easier to find but the pressure to choose something “worthy” still felt heavy. Looking back, she sees how much unnecessary pressure she placed on her younger self.The episode lands on the uncertainty of being in your 20s, when plans around housing, jobs, cities, and school can shift quickly. Alyssa mentions Charvi's changing physical therapy school plans as an example of how much life can rearrange in just a few months.TakeawaysMoney stress can be the constant awareness that support is ending and the gap between income and expenses is shrinking.A safety net is a privilege because it means someone could catch you if something big went wrong.Boston and other major cities are often too expensive for college-level wages to cover fully.A clear end date on parental support can be uncomfortable, but it pushes independence earlier.The post-grad job market is tough, even for students with strong internship or co-op experience.Café and retail jobs carry less outside judgment now, but the internal pressure can still feel heavy.Healthcare jobs may be available, but they often don't pay enough for expensive cities.Your 20s are unstable because so many opportunities and decisions are still in motion.Big plans can shift quickly, and the real skill is learning how to adapt.Millennials often put too much pressure on landing an impressive first job.Knowing the challenges ahead can feel grounding because the unknowns become more defined.Chapters0:10–3:00 — Heat, Airplanes, Barking Dogs, and the Nextdoor Complaints 3:00–5:55 — Setting Up the Topic: The End of the Allowance and What That Actually Means 5:55–10:30 — Nadia's Honest Read on Money in College: Never Quite Comfortable, Even With Support 10:30–13:50 — The Privilege of Having a Backup: What Stability Actually Looks Like 13:50–16:30 — Two Jobs Next Semester and the Math That Isn't Going to Work Otherwise 16:30–20:30 — The Job Market for Nadia's Peers: Co-Ops Don't Guarantee Anything 20:30–22:30 — Cafe Jobs, Retail Jobs, and the Generational Shift in What's Acceptable Post-Grad 22:30–26:30 — Why Your 20s Are Unstable On Purpose: Leases, Opportunities, and Rolling With the Punches 26:30–28:50 — The Long Road of Medical School and Closing Thoughts on Knowing the Challenges Ahead650.701.7686 (o)650.332.2739 (f)510.673.8712 (m)Sports & Dance Rehab | Pilates | Group ClassesOn the Move Physical Therapy501-D Old County Rd.

#351: Entry-level tech jobs are down 67% since 2022. Junior developer roles are down 40 to 50%. The instinct is to blame AI and call it unprecedented, but the layoffs are not the new part. The boom-bust cycle has happened before -- dot-com to dot-bomb, the 2020 hiring spree to the 2022 correction, now this. The new part is that the thing replacing the bottom of the ladder is not a cheaper human in another country. It is an agent that takes instruction and ships code overnight. Here is the uncomfortable reframe. A junior developer is told what to do, does not change the architecture, does not make decisions, and produces better work the more detail you give them. Replace the word junior with agent and the description does not change. That is the whole problem. The traditional path from junior to senior assumed five years of grunt work would teach you the things grunt work teaches. The grunt work has a new owner now, and nobody knows what the new on-ramp looks like. Seniors are not safe either. If you have spent 30 years writing pretty code and you have already started rejecting the idea that an agent can do it better, history is not on your side. The same people who refused to embrace cloud and containers are the people who will refuse this -- and the SSH-key-maker on the team that took a week to provision a key is not pivoting to AI either. Two types of employees. The ones you can replace in five minutes and the ones whose departure feels like a loss. Only one type thrives in this cycle. So what actually works? Capacity to learn over experience. Specific knowledge over generic knowledge -- if every developer on the internet can do what you do, the model trained on the internet can too. The job is becoming managing a team of agents the way a manager manages people: figure out what should be done, how, and when, then check on the team and work with individuals. The hiring test that still works after all these years is the one where the candidate switches to the browser and Googles. That is the person who can adapt. That is the person who survives this market.   YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/devopsparadox   Review the podcast on Apple Podcasts: https://www.devopsparadox.com/review-podcast/   Slack: https://www.devopsparadox.com/slack/   Connect with us at: https://www.devopsparadox.com/contact/

Leonard S. Hong arrived in New Zealand at the age of three. His story is one of choosing the right parents, hard work, and applied effort to succeed. At age 29 he has a Master of Science and has completed a Prime Ministerial Scholarship to Asia. He's worked in Perth and Singapore, and speaks both English and Korean fluently. He is a valuable citizen. But why are he and so many of his friends angry and leaving NZ? Leonard S. Hong in conversation, discusses New Zealand's economic malaise, the brain drain to Australia, Singapore's development model, meritocracy, and the future facing young New Zealanders. And as always, we checked the Mailroom with Mrs Producer, and concluded with climate matters.

Send us Fan MailI was fortunate to sit down with Daniel Hemhauser recently for a casual catching-up conversation. We touched on the current status of the employment struggles faced by many skilled project managers and the mixed signals we seem to be getting about their future. PMI has said that we'll need millions more PMs by 2035, but currently the people we talk to are sitting at six, nine, or even eighteen months without work. We get real about what that feels like, why it's happening across industries, and why even highly skilled project managers and PMO leaders are seeing job posts that demand impossible “everything roles” for entry-level pay.  We also dig into where movement still exists. Some regions show more hiring energy, especially where construction, distribution, data center build-outs, and AI infrastructure are growing. We share simple, practical tactics like setting targeted job alerts and thinking in terms of project funding and active build cycles, not just job boards. If you're trying to plan your next move, this is about reading the market with clearer eyes. Then we shift to the opportunity hiding in the chaos: AI for project managers. Many people claim they “know AI,” but many are only scratching the surface with basic prompts. We talk about what actually stands out, from building useful workflows to experimenting with AI agents that can take repetitive PM work off your plate, like summaries, status updates, and draft communications. We also cover how to learn faster by having AI create a 30 to 60 day study plan and how to write prompts that force clarity by having the model ask you the right questions first. If you're worried about the future of project management, this conversation is a reminder that fundamentals still matter and new skills can compound quickly. Share this episode with a PM friend who needs it, and leave a comment with the toughest hiring trend you're seeing right now. Links: Connect with Daniel on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/danielhemhauser/Website: https://www.thepmplaybook.com/PM-Mastery Links:For a full podcast episode list, visit here: PM-Mastery Podcast Episodes.For a full list of blog posts, go here: PM-Mastery Blog PostsBecome a PURE PM: https://pm-mastery.com/pureCheck out Instructing.com for all your PM course needs: https://www.instructing.com/?ref=bd5e5cGet your free PDU Tracker here: https://pm-mastery.com/resource_links/

Career coach Michelle Schafer returns to the podcast, but this time, we talk to her from the seat of her expertise as a career coach. Michelle has been on the podcast twice already. Both times we explored how she faced down adversity: once as she healed from breaking her leg, the other as she hiked to Machu Picchu in Peru. And both times, she had to draw on deep inner resources to persevere.  Today, we talk about the very difficult job market people are facing. Fewer jobs, more people looking, the encroachment of tech eradicating whole sectors of work. It's tough out there. It's an exhausting environment, and resilience is that much more important.  Relationships connect us to job opportunities, and support us as we do the shift. Michelle speaks to this and so much more in our meander: what does it take to navigate through this job market, and how can we stay positive in the process? You can find her award-winning book, "Cultivating Career Growth, Navigating Transitions with Purpose" at your local independent bookstore. And you can read about it on her website. (You can also find it on Amazon.) Michelle is just a delight to chat with; her clients are well-served by her effervescent outlook on life and vast array of support to offer them in their coaching adventure.  Please drop me a line if anything piqued your interest at meanderingswithtrudy@gmail.com.

In Season 15 episode 3, Charles Suggs sits down with Greg Medland, aka “The Elixir Fixer,” to talk about the current state of hiring and the software jobs market in 2026.   Greg shares what he's seeing from both sides of the hiring process as an Elixir-focused recruiter, from shifting company expectations to the growing importance of specialization, communication skills, and real-world product thinking. We discuss how the market has changed since the 2021–2022 hiring boom, why things feel more uncertain today, and how developers are adapting to a slower, more competitive landscape.   The conversation also explores how AI is affecting hiring workflows, résumé quality, technical interviews, and even the rise of fraudulent candidates. Greg explains why human relationships and reputation still matter more than ever, especially in smaller ecosystems like Elixir where community connections carry real weight.   Along the way, we talk about what junior developers are up against, why senior engineers with domain expertise continue to stand out, and what developers can do to position themselves more effectively in today's market. Greg shares practical advice for building a sustainable career, developing a clear professional identity, and navigating a rapidly changing industry.   Topics discussed in this episode: The current state of the Elixir job market Hiring trends and market shifts since 2021–2022 How AI is changing hiring and recruiting workflows Fraudulent candidates and AI-generated résumés Domain expertise vs. generalist engineering skills Product thinking and customer-focused development What companies are looking for in 2026 Junior developer challenges in the current market Why senior specialists remain in demand Networking and relationship-building in tech Open source contributions and visibility in the Elixir community Standing out in a crowded hiring environment Résumé quality and application strategies The role of personal branding for developers Remote work trends and geographic hiring patterns Technical interview expectations and evaluation changes Startup vs. enterprise hiring differences Human connection in an increasingly automated industry Career resilience and long-term positioning Building a sustainable software engineering career   Links mentioned: Socially Responsible Recruitment https://sr2rec.com/en/ Greg's LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/elixirfixer/ Greg's email address: greg@sr2rec.com

Younger workers typically feel more optimistic about the job market than older ones, but a new Gallup poll found that only 43% of Americans aged 15 to 34 thought that last year was a good time to find a job. That's compared to 64% of those above the age of 55. The optimism of young workers has dropped by 27 points since 2023, potentially signaling the influence of AI. Plus: a breakdown of the costs, both human and financial, of Nebraska's Medicaid eligibility rollout and a look into the impact of rising gas prices on inflation.

Artificial Intelligence has upended the market for entry-level jobs, but could AI be blocking graduates from getting a foot on the jobs ladder altogether? In this episode, we look at the new AI arms race in recruitment. Tech advancements have allowed graduates to apply for more jobs than ever, and hiring managers can let AI do the initial shortlisting and interviews, so why do both sides of the employment equation feel short-changed? And what can graduates do to stand out in a crowded market of thousands of applicants when an AI app is making the decision? We discuss the pros and cons of the AI hiring pipeline.If you'd like to get in touch with the team, our email address is businessdaily@bbc.co.ukPresenter: Ed Butler Producer: Josh Martin(Picture: Young woman sitting at a kitchen table looking at a laptop screen searching for job.
