Improving Conditions

During the last six months, 63 percent of independent recruitment firm owners reported that their business was better than in the period before, according to new research by NPAworldwide. “Member recruitment firms view the manufacturing/supply chain, technology and accounting/finance sectors as the strongest vertical market segments for recruitment. Our independent recruitment firms working these segments are expecting to continue on the positive trend started in the last six months,” said Mr. Nerz.

“The recruitment industry is navigating huge changes,” he said. “The move to work from home and limits to availability of in-person interviewing has added to the complexity of making a new hire. Many employers are ready to focus on finding and hiring great talent, but still lack the decision-making speed to get candidates with multiple offers. There is much work to do refining complex interview procedures and overly time-consuming and deliberate selection processes.”
