Check out our latest blog post ‘How to use retro design stylishly’. Mid-century modern interiors are a fine line between classic style and old-fashioned nostalgia. The style's clean lines and natural shapes will always be popular, but there is a risk of making rooms that feel more like museum exhibits than modern homes. The key is to find a balance between classic pieces and new ones that show how people live today.

We thought we’d ask around to see what the consensus is on how to decorate your home in a mid-century modern style that honours the design principles of the time while still looking modern and liveable. Which furniture pieces to focus on first, how to use colour and materials, and the mistakes that make rooms feel like they're stuck in the past.

Check out our latest blog post ‘How hiring based on skills is becoming more popular’. There is a small, but big change happening in the way businesses hire people. More and more companies are moving away from traditional hiring methods that put a lot of weight on degrees, job titles and years of experience.

Instead, they are using skills-first hiring, which is more practical and open-minded. As sectors change quickly and there aren't enough skilled workers, employers are reevaluating what makes a candidate desirable.

Check out our latest blog post “What Type of Job Interviews are Best?”. Interviews have been a big part of hiring for a long time. In theory, they give both the company and the candidate a chance to see if they are a good fit, have the right skills, and have the potential to do the job. But in real life, people have very different ideas about interviews. Some people think they are an important part of their jobs, while others think they are stressful, out of date, or even biased.

As virtual platforms and AI-led interviews become more common, people's ideas are changing quickly. Let's find out what people truly think about the three main types of interviews: in-person, virtual and AI. Let's also talk about why it's more vital than ever to create precise briefs.

Check out our latest blog post “Keeping Track of Your Job Applications”. Job application tracking plays a significant role in today's competitive job market. Job searching becomes a complex maze when candidates face the challenge of duplicate submissions to the same employer.

Modern job application tracking systems are a great way to get solutions to this common problem.

These systems can help you track your submission dates, agencies, recruiters and job IDs effectively. The hiring landscape has evolved and 64.8% of employers now use skills-based hiring practices for entry-level roles. This shift makes staying organised throughout the application process more important than ever.
