So-called “backdoor” job references, which have long played a role in hiring, are being used more than ever by businesses desperate for human insight now that candidates are using AI to write résumés and coach them through virtual interviews. “They’ve become a lot more important,” observes headhunter Mark Toscano. “The tools that people are using to present themselves in the best light possible are the same reason that companies are resorting to these backdoor references.” Although such references offer the potential for score-settling by rivals, independent recruiter Kelli Hrivnak says: “I’ve actually seen backdoor references help people more often, as opposed to being a detriment.”

Former Health Secretary Alan Milburn, the chair of the government-commissioned review into youth inactivity and unemployment, writes in the Sunday Times on the importance of apprenticeships, and the sharp drop in young people starting apprenticeships over the last decade. The number of starts among under-19s has almost halved over that period, from 130,000 to 75,000, while entry-level starts at Level 2 have fallen by 68%. "Much of this drift away from young people has a specific cause", he writes, "the apprenticeship levy. Introduced in 2017 with good intentions, it has in practice been captured by the economic logic of upskilling existing, older employees." While the government "has begun to act," he says, it needs to act faster, while businesses should "prioritise young people," work with schools and colleges, simplify hiring, and offer "the mentoring, structure and patience that turns potential into performance."

Recent mergers and partnerships between curriculum and assessment companies are reshaping the K-12 education market, with providers arguing that integrated platforms can better align instruction and student performance measurement. A survey of 220 school and district leaders found that nearly two-thirds prefer working with between two and five vendors for curriculum, assessment, and intervention resources, while about one-quarter would ideally use a single provider. Only a small minority favored working with more vendors or keeping all services in-house. Supporters of integrated offerings say they can improve efficiency, interoperability, and data-driven decision-making. However, some educators and administrators remain concerned that industry consolidation could reduce competition, limit school districts’ bargaining power, and weaken the independence of assessments. Education leaders also noted that districts often prefer specialized providers in certain subjects, particularly at the high school level, suggesting that while integrated solutions are gaining traction, most schools still value maintaining a select group of vendors rather than relying on a single company.

President Donald Trump has threatened to impose a 100% tariff on French wine and champagne unless France removes its 3% digital services tax on major American technology companies. Speaking ahead of the G7 summit in France, Trump said he had warned French President Emmanuel Macron that the U.S. would have “no choice” but to levy the tariffs if France continues to tax U.S. tech giants. Trump argued that eliminating the digital tax would remove the need for retaliatory trade measures. The threat escalates a long-running dispute over France’s digital services levy, which applies to companies generating more than €25m ($29m) of revenue in France and €750m globally. The tax has been in place since 2019 and primarily affects large U.S. technology firms. French wine and spirits exporters criticized the proposal, warning that the industry could become collateral damage in a broader trade conflict. Industry groups urged both governments to seek a balanced resolution, noting that French alcohol exports are heavily dependent on the U.S. market. The latest warning comes despite recent efforts to ease transatlantic trade tensions. Wines and spirits imported from the European Union currently face a 15% U.S. tariff, and French officials have been lobbying for those duties to be reduced or eliminated.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has announced that social media companies will be required to block under-16s from accessing their services, with the ban to include TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and X, while restrictions on functionality like infinite scroll, and curfews, could be put into place for 16- and 17-year-olds. Scotland's children's minister, Siobhian Brown welcomed the announcement - but urged Sir Keir to "meaningfully engage" with Holyrood ministers to "ensure proposals meet the needs of children and young people in Scotland". The Children and Young People's Commissioner Scotland, Nicola Killean, expressed concerns over the announcement, however, saying there is a "real risk now that children will be driven to darker places on the internet and stop talking to adults about what they might see".

The Antitrust Division of the U.S. Justice Department has cleared Paramount Skydance's planned $110bn acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, saying the deal was unlikely to harm competition or consumers. The DOJ approved the merger without requiring any divestitures, behavioral remedies or concessions, according to a source. The deal is opposed by many in the entertainment industry who fear it could precipitate mass layoffs, among other concerns. The Antitrust Division said its eight-month review “determined based on the evidence received in its investigation that the transaction is not likely to result in harm to competition or American consumers” and could ultimately increase it by creating a stronger competitor across streaming, television and film.

President Trump has told The New York Post that France is at risk of a fresh trade war with the United States unless Paris ditches its 3% digital tax on American tech companies. The US would “have no choice” but to impose 100% tariffs on French wines, Trump said. The American market accounts for a fifth of the French wine industry’s global sales. “I asked [French President Emmanuel Macron] not to charge American companies, and if they do, I have no choice but to charge a 100% tariff on all champagnes and all wines coming out of France,” Trump told The Post. “All [Macron] has to do is get rid of the sales tax, and he wouldn’t have that kind of pressure.”

More than half of senior finance professionals are considering changing jobs in 2026, with the pursuit of a new professional challenge overtaking salary as the primary motivation, according to CFO Connect’s latest CFO Salary Benchmark survey. The study found that 55% of finance leaders and 51% of CFOs are considering a move this year, up from 42% of CFOs in 2025. The trend is particularly pronounced in the UK, where 64% of finance leaders are exploring new opportunities over the next six to 12 months. While salaries continue to rise, career development appears to be a stronger driver of mobility. Nearly 59% of CFOs cited the desire for a new challenge as the main reason for seeking a new role. Across surveyed markets, finance salaries increased by 4%, while average CFO pay in the UK rose 12% to £172,000. The survey also highlighted the growing influence of artificial intelligence in finance. More than 90% of CFOs reported saving time through AI tools, with 53% saving more than three hours per week. Many said the technology allows them to focus more on strategic analysis and value creation. Nearly half of respondents were enthusiastic about AI’s impact, while 44% expressed mixed views.
