As with pretty much every year since I have been recruiting in this industry, it seems to be cyclical...by seasons almost...with the Fall, Winter and beginning portion of Spring finding myself bogged down with manufacturing, engineering and operations positions and few sales roles. Mid way through Spring sales and marketing positions suddenly almost out of nowhere seem to pull the majority of my focus while the manufacturing and engineering positions seemingly slow down.
This year, I sense it may be a bit different as I have a fairly even mix of both going into Spring and Summer months and do not see it slowing down one bit. Even amidst the talk of downsizing and the dismal housing market...the job market in my opinion remains strong. Always a good sign if a recruiter has enough work to keep busy!
