| 2006 brought a huge influx of new positions to the job market, and seemingly overnight for some companies (although it has been a few years in the making), responses to job postings have dried up. You may have been asking “why me?” when no one applies to your job opening, or when candidates fail to turn up for scheduled interviews; but rest assured, the candidate drought it universal.
The reality is that the job market shifted to job-rich/candidate poor in mid-2005. Clients ranging from Fortune 200s to small and medium sized businesses are still struggling to fill even their “plum” positions. And, we’re likely to be in this job-seeker friendly market for the foreseeable future.
But here is the good news — a “job seeker” might be unemployed, but a “better opportunity seeker” is most likely already employed. “Better opportunity seekers” passively review opportunities and are very selective about the jobs they pursue.
They keep a wandering eye on the buffet of new positions that appear daily on Monster.com, Careerbuilder.com, HotJobs.com and others.
all and large accomplishments, and let your hard workers know that you truly appreciate their efforts. You’ll create a happy and exciting work environment that attracts top new hires and devoted customers. |
