Tom built his career placing engineers through the dot-com bust, the 2008 crash, and the cloud hiring boom, and says the current AI-driven shift is the fastest he's seen. He runs a small independent recruiting desk in London and writes from that vantage point: real requisitions, real client conversations, real rejected candidates. He's blunt about which 'AI skills' on a CV actually move a hiring decision and which are noise. His column leans on anonymized data from his own placement pipeline.
