GUEST - Paul Byrne, Head of Data Insights & Customer Success at Pnet,
We’re taking a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most crucial, yet often overlooked, aspects of recruitment: candidate sourcing. While job ads are the most visible way companies attract talent, a major part of the hiring process happens quietly through targeted sourcing efforts.

We’ll explore which candidate sectors recruiters are most actively targeting, which professionals have been most in demand over the last three years, and what these trends reveal about the shifting priorities of businesses across industries.
