As we move further into this economic recession it becomes even more important to have your pulse of the finger of larger corporations when it comes to recruiting. It is important to understand their direction with hiring, layoffs, budgeting, benefits, marketing and other things they have done and what they are planning to do during 2009.
Watson Wyatt came up with a survey from a variety of companies in different industries to figure out what their plans are for 2009 compared to 2008. This gives you a good idea of where the industry is going and how you can avoid any negative assumptions personal or with your department of recruiters.
If you are working for just once company it is still important to understand recruiting trends in the industry and with your competition. This allows you to be more skilled with knowledge to make the right recruiting and sourcing situations.
What is good to know is that majority of the hiring freeze and layoffs have already happened. 47% of the corporations have already performed some level of a hiring freeze and 39% have done some level of layoffs. As far as changes in the next 12 months go, only 18% are planning on a hiring freeze and 23% are looking to layoff more people.
It is obvious to see that the drop off is going to be large for the hiring freeze and layoffs. So a lot of those people are going to get jobs back or move on to other companies and they will need recruiting support during these difficult times.
Companies have to limit their employees so they need to hire employees that are going to have a huge impact with limited funds. Often they will hire people that other companies can't hire because of budgets.
Companies want to hire more and they will be willing to do so in a few years. That is why it is so important for you to find candidates that have been let go or on faulty ground and build a relationship with them now. In a few months they will be getting jobs again.
One of the best ways to leverage your efforts with sourcing job candidates is to market with TalentSeekr from EnticeLabs. They do a great job of branding corporations and allow for you to find candidates that you can throw in your CRM. - 16039
