It is approaching a year when the slow down started for us. The end of last year was great but when January came around there was NO ONE AROUND! Hiring came practically to a stop. I must say though over the past 2 weeks the phone has been ringing from clients from the past who are telling us to get ready because they are going to start hiring again. In fact some have already hired back people that they had to let go. I just finished my 3rd RFP for new hires from large, national corporations. It does appear that companies are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.
We just finished some new features on our site to make it easier for job candidates to submit their resume and application. Select the recruiter that best fits your background or the one who has been in touch with you. Don’t forget to get your references done quickly! You can have your references done on our site 24 x 7. If I only had a nickel for everyone who waits until the last moment to get them done.
If you are interviewing on your own and want some help with follow up or the latest cell phone technology then sign up free at www.myjobcast.com. Don’t forget the coupon code “jobhelp”.
I think that this year is going to end up strong and next year should be much better.
Recruiters out there please give us some feedback on what you are personally seeing. Are you noticing the increase in your job orders?
