In recruitment, the CV often becomes the centrepiece of the hiring process.
But in reality, it’s the least interesting part of a candidate.

It’s probably not the market.
In 2026, I keep hearing the same thing:
“Good people just aren’t out there.”

Everyone says the market is tough.
“Candidates are scarce.”
“Salary expectations are unrealistic.”
“There’s no loyalty anymore.”
Maybe.
