Signal tone stays positive. 89% of polar signals point to hiring. Product launch leads the wire in 3 of four markets (Oceania, EMEA, Americas). Asia is the outlier: geographic expansion, restructuring and capital-raising run 1.4–1.7× their global share there, a consolidation tilt.

In Asia, that consolidation tilt changes the brief: demand tilts to integration and turnaround leadership, meaning COOs, transformation directors and post-merger integration leads rather than the growth-stage hires a raise-led market produces.
