Down from a recent high of over 10% in 2009, current U.S. unemployment sits at a fraction over 4.0%. It’s this surge in employment numbers which has seen the country’s staffing and recruitment industries hit $150 billion annually.<\/p>\n
Interestingly, according to John Piccinini, a recruitment specialist from Fort Lauderdale, it’s now candidates, not employers, who hold power. “It’s a widely accepted fact among recruiters in today’s market,” he suggests.<\/p>\n
Indeed, according to a study by MRINetwork, one of the world’s largest recruitment organizations, upwards of 90% of industry specialists now believe this to be the case.<\/p>\n
“There are no two ways about it,” highlights Piccinini, “candidates drive the current market.”<\/p>\n
He continues, “This is largely down to the fact that job offers and opportunities are outstripping the supply of potential or suitable staff.”<\/p>\n
During the course of the last 70 years, the U.S. has enjoyed a relatively low average unemployment rate of 5.8%.<\/p>\n
Piccinini believes the new low of 4.1% is great news for the country, suggesting that talent is now more in demand than ever. “Executive search is seeing a huge resurgence, which is ideal for candidates seeking new or alternative employment,” points out the recruitment expert.<\/p>\n
More commonly known as headhunting, executive search currently accounts for around 30% of all new hires in the U.S., according to a study by recruitment software company Lever. “These candidates,” claims Piccinini, “also prove, on average, to be twice as efficient as those hired through non-executive search methods.”<\/p>\n
