What’s Happening to the Job Market Right Now? (Part 1)

Why does the job market suddenly feel so different? Companies are still hiring—but many are no longer hiring the way they used to. After nearly two decades in recruitment, I’ve noticed a fundamental shift in hiring. Companies are increasingly expecting candidates to contribute immediately rather than investing in long training periods. In Part 1, I break down: Why hiring feels different today Why “Day One Ready” has become so important How AI and changing business priorities are influencing hiring decisions What this means for freshers and experienced professionals This is Part 1 of a two-part series. I’d love to hear your thoughts: Have you noticed this change in the job market?
