For a nation obsessed with tea, getting a brew wrong can be surprisingly unforgivable. New research released for International Tea Day 2026 (21st May) shows nearly half of Brits would rather decline a cup entirely than risk suffering through someone else’s bad tea-making habits.

What does the title “Special Media of the Year” mean to you personally – and what does human resources management stand for in your eyes? In your opinion, what are the ingredients for excellent HR journalism?

It takes eight to twelve weeks to fill a position. Often significantly longer for management positions. This is what Robert Half’s current time-to-hire compass shows. Anyone who reads the numbers carefully will find the real problem is not in the market, but in the mirror. Yes, the skills shortage is real. But 13 percent of the HR managers surveyed admit that internal processes lead to candidates dropping out. This is not a side note, but an admission: companies lose people they have already found. Time-to-hire is not a recruiting problem. It is an organizational problem. Anyone who needs four signatures…
The leader of the PP, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, has once again asked the Government’s partners to stop supporting Sánchez. “The situation is one of political agony; the atmosphere is unbreathable,” he lamented in the halls of Congress.

Many recruiting professionals know this: operational recruiting work is familiar, but at the same time recruiting itself is currently changing massively. AI takes over initial tasks, processes are automated and companies increasingly expect strategic advice and support in selection decisions instead of just filling positions. This means that the role also changes – and this is exactly where new career paths emerge. Some are thinking about leadership, others about greater specialization or moving into generalist or transformation-oriented roles. But which path…
The Minister of Justice, Félix Bolaños, insisted this Tuesday that there is still “one year and two months of the legislature” and has asked the PP in the Senate to “not condemn a person who has not yet declared”, in reference to former president José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero. The spokesperson for the Popular Party in the Upper House, Alicia García, has responded by attacking the former president, whom she has referred to as “the Maharaja of Ferraz” who turned his office “into a safe house.” In parallel, the president of Castilla-La Mancha, Emiliano García-Page, considers that the central Executive should…
