Turmoil in the financial markets has companies taking a closer look at their human capital needs.
According to the October ExecuNet survey of 141 executive recruiters, 37% are confident or very confident the executive employment market will improve in the next six months – down from 49% in September.
“While some executive recruiters report that searches are taking more time to fill as companies grow cautious, others are working closely with clients to improve existing management teams by hiring new, proven leaders,” says Mark Anderson, President of ExecuNet.
