In the recruiting industry 2009 has been, to put it mildly, a difficult year. We are able to judge the market by the number of RFPs we receive, job orders registered, interviews scheduled and insights that we get from candidates and other recruiters. This market is similar to the one that we experienced after the 1989 stock market collapse and the tragedy of 9/11. In this case, however, it has lasted much longer.
That is the doom and gloom statement. The good news is that during the month of August our team saw a dramatic up beat of the indicators. Don’t misunderstand- we are nowhere near where we would traditionally be in terms of current openings- but we are in fact seeing much more activity than at any other time since the first of the year. What we are experiencing may simply be a temporary blip but we are hopeful that we have reached the bottom and things will continue to improve as we move into Fall.
We look forward to sharing new exciting opportunities with candidates that have hung in there with us through the tough times. We believe we are very good at reaching out to individuals to share new searches as we begin sourcing however you can be proactive in monitoring our needs through our website, Facebook page and Twitter updates.
