1) Search assignments are up across numerous industry verticals

We have noticed the market picking up with an increase in current client job assignments as well as call in activity.

2) Increase in interview activity

Our client companies remain diligent in their interviewing processes; however the urgency level of their need for top talent has been exhibited in expedited interviews.

3) Increase in company hiring activity

Our clients are moving from interview to hire quicker as our client companies seek to “top grade” their talent force.

4) On a national average, gas prices are down 32.5% compared to this time last year

Thank goodness! Enough said.

5) Pitchers and catchers report on February 2/14/2009

Punxsutawney Phil says it will be an early spring! The days are getting longer and warm weather will be here soon so grab a beverage of your choice and PLAY BALL!!!

Over the past year, it has been very difficult to hear and read all of the negative news of today’s economy that has affected us all. It is about time to hear some good news for a change.
