As we head into June, the industry is facing multiple headwinds. Trump’s tariffs are still biting, and we are hearing that in the US, brands are preemptively reducing ad spend in line with anticipated lower sales. At the same time, we’ve had layoffs announced at both GroupM (WPPMedia?) and IPG, whilst Microsoft/Xandr have done the same.
This too shall pass.
We have a highly innovative industry that is truly the engine of the global capitalist machine. The various governments around the world will start to inject liquidity into their economies soon enough through various methods, and we will soon see a return to real growth again.
Additionally, we continue to see a high level of demand for more technical roles, such as those in development and engineering. It could well be worth looking to upskill in those areas if you already have a good understanding of adtech, and are technically minded with an interest in building.
On JobsInAdtech.com, we have seen a significant increase in the number of companies registering to post roles, so all is not lost. We see this as a swing away from expensive recruiters or ineffective LinkedIn ads, rather than a higher-than-normal number of new roles.
In part, we think that by offering all companies completely free ‘try before you buy’ three day trials, this has been seen as a big incentive to move job posts towards JobsInAdtech.com, and this swing should be seen as a paradigm shift for companies wanting to get the best candidates but at the lowest prices.
In other news, we have now reached over 10,000 followers on our company LinkedIn page and over 1,000 registered candidates.
If your company is hiring, and you’re not using JobsInAdtech.com, you’re missing out.
Until next month…
