It seems like yesterday when I would hear the “old” guys talk about the last down cycle in hiring and when the turnaround came it was rather hectic since many recruiters had disappeared and companies needed their new hires immediately. Well, 20 years have passed by and I have seen a few down cycles, but I must admit this was the ultimate, stomach in your mouth, nosedive. Some of our biggest clients disappeared overnight and the doom and gloom was sent out over the airwaves on an hourly basis.
Well, thank goodness, that ride seems to be over and companies are taking a look at 2010 and saying “To achieve our goals we need to staff up immediately”. If your company is not one of them, what are you waiting for? The aggressive, flexible, forward thinking managers are already putting their plans in motion. As recruiters, we have to be prepared to identify, locate and evaluate the strongest candidates that excel in their particular field. Has your company made that same commitment to hiring staff that will have an immediate impact on your bottom line?
