AdvertisementJob seekers may face 'love-bombing' from hiring managers during interviews. If a hiring manager is excessively complimenting you and telling you you're the top candidate during an interview, you may be being "love-bombed." Many job seekers complain of inconsistent behavior from hiring managers, CNBC reported, being flattered and praised one minute and ghosted the next. "They may overhype your chances to keep you interested," Barber said. It may not always be a scheme, though, and some recruiters and hiring managers may be love-bombing without realizing it.

Bluesky feels familiar to Twitter usersBluesky, I think, is the most like the old Twitter and feels more familiar than Threads, which doesn't have Twitter-style lists and can be hard to organize content on. They have tweaked Threads and made improvements, but Bluesky feels more familiar, even beyond the use of the color blue. It feels like BlueSky and Threads have a much better environment.

Sovereign AI is "more driven by the industry naming it that, than it is from the policymakers' side," Gow said. On Wednesday, Denmark laid out a landmark white paper outlining how companies can use AI in compliance with the incoming EU AI Act — the world's first major AI law. How regulation fueled a mindset shiftThat's not to say regulations haven't proven an important factor in getting tech giants to think more about building localized AI infrastructure within Europe. The concept of AI sovereignty is also getting buy-in from local European tech firms. Orange hasn't yet selected a partner for these sovereign AI model ambitions.

A landmark decision from outdoor clothing brand Patagonia to dedicate its profits to fight the climate crisis didn't surprise its employees — but that's not to say the process has been stress-free. The move, which made headlines for being a novel marriage of capitalism and charity, prompted some to question whether the transformation would encourage others to follow suit. "They didn't want to sell the company because at the end of the day, yes, they could take the profits out but then it is a one-off situation," Hajikhanian said. "What it was really all about was to create a new way of capitalism, you know, to turn capitalism upside down and inspire other businesses to do things differently — and it felt like a real natural step," she added. "It may have been a really big moment, but for us, it was quite normal."

The EU's NIS 2 cybersecurity directive sets a high benchmark for companies over their internal cybersecurity systems and practices. On Thursday, the new directive officially became enforceable by member states. However, most EU member states have yet to implement NIS 2 in their own respective national laws, meaning that enforcement is likely to be spotty. NIS 2 — or the Network and Information Security Directive 2 — is an EU directive that aims to increase the security of IT systems and networks across the bloc. Fladgate's Wright said that effectiveness of NIS 2 as a regulation will largely depend on consistent implementation and enforcement across EU member states.

The rules impose tougher requirements on companies around their internal cyber resilience strategy and internal practices. CNBC runs through all you need to know about NIS 2 — from what the law requires to the potential penalties businesses could face for violations. Under NIS 2, firms will also have to vet their digital supply chains for cyber threats and vulnerabilities. Companies that fail to comply with the new law could face massive potential fines, along with other punitive actions. Still, even with cyber security a much more prominent focus in board rooms, this hasn't stopped cyberattacks from taking place.

Overall, European office investment transactions in the first half of the year fell 21% year-on-year to 14.1 billion euros, Savills data showed — a 60% decrease on the five-year H1 average. Europe's divided recoveryThe U.K. real estate market was the first in Europe to undergo a significant contraction following its peak in 2022.
