The Bureau of Labor Statistics published the latest employment report last week - 290,000 new jobs added in April 2010, the largest monthly gain in the past 4 years.
What does this mean for recruiters? - solid and broad opportunities for growth.
This is a great sign that business is picking up. Trade organizations predict hiring "Heat Waves" starting in May, and trends indicate that temporary staffing will lead this wave. The trends also show services, IT and finance jobs to take the lead. Are these early indicators a sign of full recovery?
The bottom line is that companies have definitely started to hire again and staffing firms will see an increase in business from this increase in hiring, both for temporary and permanent jobs.
Are you ready to meet this new demand?
Those that prepare their own teams and organizations by increasing their sales and recruiting capacity will most effectively take advantage of the new demand being seen in the marketplace right now.
Is your team of Recruiters and Business Development personnel working at full capacity? Do you have dedicated staff to do "backoffice" work - instead of recruiting? Are there opportunities you may be missing due to lack of working capital?
