The leadership read

A change at the top rarely stays at the top. Stillfront Group's move reshapes the layer beneath it in the sector as a new leader sets priorities and the team re-forms. Watch the first two or three appointments that follow; they signal direction more reliably than any statement.

Market context: Backdrop: a 97.8 (Neutral) Talent Market Index (down 3.2 on the month) with EMEA activity rising (+5.9pts).

Stillfront Group: 1 signal in the last 90 days.
