Great Recession Hiring Trends

Unemployment remains intractably high given the recessionary economy.  Uncertainty about governmental oversight, taxes and healthcare legislation are major concerns for many employers  further dampening companies’ confidence to hire.   Employers who are hiring are ultra-cautious about who it is they hire which is another problem contributing to high unemployment.     Companies are hiring more temporary, part-time and contract workers.  In fact part-time workers now number almost 10 million the highest on record. 

Companies hiring in this environment want to be sure they’ve hired the best employees they can.  They’d be well served utilizing a company offering multiple recruiting services with deep expertise in the particular industry they seek to hire for.
