As I sit here reflecting on 2025, I'm overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you to everyone who's been part of the Talentology AU journey this year, as our journey has also yours!

I read a post today from one of my LinkedIn connections saying to a new hire: “Welcome to the family.” Lovely sentiment. Warm. Fuzzy. Feels great when everything’s going well...until it doesn’t.

The job market isn’t broken — it’s overwhelmed. AI has flooded recruitment with noise, making it harder than ever for real humans to be seen. Here’s how to cut through it and reclaim your edge.

Is there anything more disgusting than taking advantage of another human being when they’re at their most vulnerable? Especially when they’re job seeking.

Ethical Recruitment Dilemma: What would you do if your recruiter wrote your cover letter for a Federal Government role with skills you don’t have?

The job market isn’t broken, it’s just being buried alive under its own bullshit and AI promises.

You were an employed hiring manager. A recruiter who took you out for coffee last month won't return your call this month. The only thing that changed? Your job status.

We’re told you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, yet we often judge a resume by its gaps. Should we negatively judge a job seeker because of gaps in their resume?

Hey there Employers and Recruiters! You advertise jobs, you want quality applicants, but you don't provide your name or contact details??? It’s time we talked about ghost job ads. 👻

These days, the only stable job is the one you haven’t lost yet. Job seeking shouldn't start when you've lost your job - start now before it's too late!

Is AI the new dot-com bubble?

“Trevor, the last time I looked for a job was 5 years ago. It felt so much easier then. What’s happened to recruitment?”

Pssst...Talentology turns 3 today. And honestly, I’m a little emotional about it. I was so nervous to start my own business, but now my cup is full.

We’ve learned this the hard way, right? No matter how much you justify it, “cheap” almost always turns out to be expensive.

Trevor, what do I do if a recruiter, employer or job application forces me to disclose my previous salary?

What if the next step in your job search wasn’t another application…but a simple message to someone you already know?

Is it time to really think about how AI will impact your professional future…before it’s too late?

Trevor… I’m over 50. I’ve applied for dozens of jobs and I feel like I’ve been completely overlooked. Should I start colouring the greys out of my hair just to get noticed?

Trevor, I keep getting told I’m ‘overqualified.’ I don’t get it. I’m reliable. I’m committed. I’ve got experience to offer, and I’m not chasing the top job anymore. Why am I being overlooked? What now?

Trevor, is it just me or is the IT project management market really struggling at the moment?
