The Market Pulse
Meta’s Shaking Things Up
Meta is here, breaking the norms. No decade of experience needed; just someone with real skills and curiosity. And for these entry-level jobs, they are paying up to $290K per year!
While all you hear these days is that companies are cutting roles for junior talent, Meta is betting big on new talent.
For recruiters? Maybe it’s time to focus on growing skills, not just counting years.

Hiring on Ice
Job growth in the U.S. is crawling at 0.1%, slower than a video buffering in 2005. The last time it was this slow, Bitcoin was cheaper than coffee.
The good news? If you’ve got a job, you’re mostly safe. The bad news? Hiring is very slow, so recruiters will need some clever moves to catch the best talent in this “low-hire, low-fire” market.
AI Corner
The Great AI Bubble: High Hopes, Fragile Future
The AI world is on a roll, with trillions being poured into chips, data centers, and infrastructure. But when most tools are free, this constant scaling could potentially create a bubble if the profits don’t materialize.
Some see this AI Bubble as a warning, like the dot-com era, while others still see huge long-term potential.
It could be a high-reward scenario but risky waters, like fast growth with a side of turbulence.
Future Flash
170 Million Jobs to Rise
Everyone is talking about AI replacing jobs, but in hindsight, AI is creating 170 million jobs in the near future. All you need is AI skills, ethics, and cross-disciplinary knowledge.
So if you find an AI-savvy,multi-skilled talent, don’t let them go; the future is all theirs.
The Red Flag Radar
Watch out, Job Seekers (and Recruiters)!
Scammers are pretending to be Google recruiters, sending “Book a Call” invites that lead to fake login pages to steal the candidates’ credentials.
They’re using tricks like broken-up text, new domains, and fake human verification to slip past email defenses.
The fix? Use MFA, double-check recruiter messages, and stay alert.
For recruiters, try to keep communications secure and legit, so your candidates don’t get fooled.
