Brainfood Live On Air - Ep365 - The Recruitment Advertising Benchmark Report 2026

THE RECRUITMENT ADVERTISING BENCHMARK REPORT 2026   The labor market story of 2026 cannot be told through a single headline. Behind the macro narrative of cooling growth lies a structural split that is reshaping how recruiting actually works. In this livestream, we’ll break down Joveo’s Recruiting Benchmarks Report 2026 and discuss 9x surge in applicant volume for some roles to the persistent drought in others, this session will translate benchmark data into practical strategy.   What we’ll cover:  

• The 9x Applicant Avalanche
• Why More Applicants Doesn’t Mean Easier Hiring:
• The Occupational Split:
• Demand Intensity in Healthcare and Skilled Trades:
• Two Markets, Two Strategies:
• The Experience Cliff:
• Capability Over Credentials

Recruiters and recruitment marketers who continue to run one hiring process across two fundamentally different markets risk underperforming in both. This session will equip you with the insight to recalibrate metrics, rethink CPA obsession, and align strategy to the actual hiring environment you’re operating in. If you want to move from reactive benchmarking to intentional advantage in 2026, this is a conversation you cannot afford to miss.   We're on Friday 6th March, 2pm GMT.
