Elite firms’ notorious ‘revolving door’ culture isn’t arbitrary but a rational way to signal talent and boost profits, a new study finds. Why do the world’s most prestigious firms—such as McKinsey, Goldman Sachs and other elite consulting giants, investment banks, and law practices—hire the brightest talents, train them intensively, and then, after a few years, send many of them packing? A recent study in the American Economic Review concludes that so-called adverse selection is not a flaw but rather a sign that the system is working precisely as intended. Two financial economists, from the University of Rochester and the University of Wisconsin–Madison respectively, created a model that explains how reputation, information, and retention interact in professions where skill is essential and performance is both visible and attributable to a specific person, particularly in fields such as law, consulting, fund asset management, auditing, and architecture. They argue that much of the professional services world operates through “intermediaries”—firms that both hire employees (also referred to as “agents” or “managers”) and market their expertise to clients—because clients can’t themselves easily judge a worker’s ability from the outset. “Identifying skilled professionals is critical yet presents a major challenge for clients,” the researchers write. “Some of the

In the rapidly evolving landscape of professional networking, LinkedIn has unveiled a transformative AI-powered people search feature, fundamentally changing how users discover connections. Launched in mid-November 2025, this tool allows premium subscribers in the U.S. to use natural language queries, such as ‘Spanish-speaking school counselors in Austin focused on learning differences,’ to find relevant profiles. According to TechCrunch, the feature leverages generative AI to interpret conversational inputs and deliver precise results, marking a significant upgrade from traditional keyword-based searches. This innovation comes amid LinkedIn’s broader push into AI, owned by Microsoft, which has integrated similar technologies into job postings and profile enhancements. The Verge reports that the update aims to streamline networking and recruitment, enabling users to uncover experts hidden within the platform’s 1.3 billion members. Early adopters praise its ability to surface nuanced matches that rigid filters might miss, potentially accelerating career opportunities and business collaborations. The Mechanics of AI-Driven Discovery At its core, LinkedIn’s AI people search employs advanced natural language processing to parse user queries and map them to profile data. Fast Company explains that the system distills complex models to handle massive scale, achieving a 10x throughput gain while maintaining accuracy. Engineers at LinkedIn, as detailed

IMDb, the widely used film and television database, has introduced 12 new professional credit categories, expanding recognition for a range of behind-the-scenes roles — including Voice Actor – Dubbing. The new categories span Choreography, Color, Craft Services, Health & Safety, Intimacy Coordination, Legal, Production, Production Finance & Accounting, Property, Publicity, Puppetry, and Voice Actor – Dubbing. Previously, many of these roles were grouped under “Additional Crew.” The expansion brings IMDb’s total number of professional credit categories to 45. “Our vision is to ensure every profession involved in making movies and TV shows receives equal recognition,” IMDb CEO Nikki Santoro wrote in a LinkedIn post announcing the update. Dubbing Takes the Spotlight For the language and localization industry, the addition of a Voice Actor – Dubbing category is the most significant change. IMDb will now accept dubbing credits across seven languages — English, French, German, Hindi, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish — giving multilingual voice actors and dubbing studios greater visibility on one of the industry’s most influential databases. Yaminie Patodia, Head of IMDb India, explained in a LinkedIn post that “as content production becomes more complex, skills require more specialization and that’s why it’s important to recognize and accurately represent the

Sidley Austin, Latham & Watkins, Des Voeux Chambers, Ashurst and GH Legal have assisted Sunac China in reaching a milestone in its offshore debt restructuring plan following a high court approval. The property giant is one step closer to realising its plan after the Hong Kong High Court approved Sunac’s USD9.6 billion restructuring plan on 5 November. On completion, it will become the first major Chinese property developer to clear its offshore debts. The plan won more than 98% creditors’ approval in October, representing 94.5% of the total debt. Under the restructuring plan, all debt will be converted into mandatory convertible bonds that will be exchanged for Sunac shares on maturity. Creditors can convert them into ordinary shares at HKD6.8 each, or at HKD3.85 during a designated window. This marks Sunac’s second offshore restructuring to take effect, following a USD10.2 billion plan in 2023. Alongside its two onshore restructurings, the company has reduced its debt by nearly RMB60 billion (USD8.4 billion). Sidley Austin acted as Sunac’s legal counsel, led by partners Christopher Cheng, Carrie Li, Dhevine Chandrapala, Olivia Ngan and Desmond Ang advising on financing, capital markets, restructuring, arbitration and litigation. Des Voeux Chambers’ barrister Ho Look-chan represented Sunac in

What’s happened? LinkedIn is rolling out an AI-powered people search feature for Premium members in the US. Instead of typing job titles and company names, subscribers can describe the kind of person they want to find in plain language. LinkedIn says members can type prompts like “someone who’s grown a small business” or “an expert in digital marketing” instead of juggling filters. The AI parses those conversational queries against LinkedIn’s professional data to surface people whose skills and experience match the goal. For now, the feature is limited to Premium members in the US, with LinkedIn planning to expand access in the coming months. This is important because: LinkedIn is turning one of its core tools into a paid AI upgrade. That gives Premium subscribers a smarter way to find useful contacts and pushes more of LinkedIn’s advanced features behind a subscription. Paying members get an edge when they are prospecting, recruiting, or trying to reach a specific kind of expert. Plain language search helps when you are exploring a new industry and do not know the right titles or keywords. LinkedIn says it wants to surface “the right expertise, at the right time” for big moments like launching a

Schools across the country are implementing high-dosage tutoring programs to accelerate student learning. But many face challenges finding high-quality tutors and sustaining the programs now that federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief funding has ended. Schools of education are stepping up to fill the need by having their undergraduates tutor students in partner schools. FutureEd hosted a webinar on this new strategy for expanding the supply of tutors in the nation’s public schools, focusing on how programs in Ohio and Virginia are making these win-win partnerships work. Moderated by FutureEd’s Associate Director Maureen Tracey-Mooney, the discussion featured: Christoph Hill, principal of Westlawn Elementary School Meredith Fortner, executive director of EduTutorVA Susanna Loeb, professor and director, SCALE Initiative, Stanford University Dawn Shinew, dean of the College of Education and Human Development at Bowling Green State University Technical Assistance Providers Resources for districts, states, educator preparation programs, and non-profits looking to build tutoring partnerships
