Is It A Candidates' Market Right Now?
For some professions, there aren't enough candidates for the open jobs. So employers are super flexible.
And some employers are still being as picky as in 2009.
Here's a free report with the opinions of four leading recruiters: Paula Norbom of Talencio, Kurt Rakos of SkyWater Search Partners, Talley Flora of RedSeat, and Maria Weinand of Presbyterian Homes. They address several topics, giving the latest intelligence on the hiring activities in medical devices, pharma, engineering, sales, marketing, and medical care.
Hint: limited time on the part of the recruiters means YOU must have keyword-rich content on LinkedIn and in your resume, so you can snag their attention quickly.
