57+ & CRUSHING It: For everyone in recruitment, love from me x

Two staggering insights for you to smash together this week:

1️⃣ 46% of recruiters think 57 is the moment candidates become “too old for the role” (Totaljobs).

AND…

2️⃣ 80% of British businesses are struggling to find talent (ManpowerGroup).

Come on!! This is not hard to solve. Share the ⬆️ video with leaders, recruiters, friends, anyone who can make a difference and feel a bit of joy while doing it.

Plus Bruce and I had a fascinating conversation about whether DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) is in need of a rebrand or on its last legs, plus a touch of doom-spiralling over the political climate.

📕 READ: On the political theme, Rory Stewart’s Politics on the Edge is a must if you want a reality check on British politics (warning, may induce despair).

♥️ WATCH: Hide in your bed and inhale all of Nobody Wants This (Netflix) and re-live every time you’ve been madly in love <tell me when you get to the prosciutto badger>.

💔 LISTEN: To the FT Working it Pod this week with me and Isabel Berwick and Andrew Hill unpicking the brutal psychological impacts of reorganisations.

Here’s to skateboarding, drumming and partying too hard at every age!

Cheers
