This report marks the third installment of Movemeon’s Quarterly Hiring Analysis — a regular update designed to help hiring managers and candidates stay ahead of the market across Private Equity, VC-backed scale-ups and large Enterprise businesses.

Our insights are powered by over 1.8 million data points from the Movemeon platform, giving you a clear picture of how candidate interest and hiring demand are shifting.

At the heart of this analysis is the
Movemeon Hiring Index — a scale from 0 to 100 that reflects how attractive the job market is for employers. In short: a higher index means higher candidate interest per role. When the economy slows, candidate supply tends to rise, pushing the index up. When hiring demand picks up and candidate availability falls, the index drops.

At Movemeon, we are privileged enough to sit at the intersection of disruption in the consulting industry: Speaking with senior leaders in consulting firms of all sizes, as well as with thousands of ex and current consultants themselves, we see how clients’ needs are evolving, which firms have kept pace with digital transformation, and how delivery mechanisms are changing - all within the context of political and macroeconomic uncertainty.

Over the course of Q4, we will share some of our insights and offer our view on some of the major trends shaping the industry. As 2021 draws to a close, it seems like a great opportunity to reflect on the changes brought on by the pandemic and the solutions consultancies have resorted to, or the measures they may need to take in the future.

Over the past 9 months alone, we saw a surge in demand from consultancies of all kinds on our platform. So much so that we posted 13 times more advisory roles than during the whole of 2020. If you’re interested in finding out why, you can read our latest insights and industry experts' interviews on our website.
