A Note from the Editor

This week’s articles all circle back to the same theme: recruiters trying to make things work in a world that isn’t getting any simpler. From the renewed interest in full‑cycle recruiting to Google’s latest search changes, there’s plenty here that affects how we show up for clients and candidates.

We’ve also included a smart look at alternatives to LinkedIn Recruiter, plus a practical reminder that engagement isn’t something you fix once – it’s something you maintain. The rest of the reads dig into jobseeker behaviour, TA careers, leadership lessons, and the hidden costs quietly eating into margins.
