On to a New Year…..predictable or not?

Posted by admin

Starting off a new year in the Search business can be somewhat predictable. First week back, the phones start to ring with candidates asking the age-old questions “How’s the market looking from your point of view?” or “What type of industries are in growth mode this year?” “Are companies hiring?”

Yes, we do have our pulse on this information to some degree however it’s certainly shifted over the years from offering a wealth of knowledge-sharing to current times of “I don’t know”. I’m probably not giving myself enough credit for what I know and absorb everyday; however my impressions and instincts are out of whack just like the stock market…unpredictable.

I choose to believe that our Canadian landscape is in a much healthier place than most of the world, and there are facts to clearly back this up. Our business grew by 35% last year over 2010 compared to analyst forecasts for overall GNP of 2.5%. I’ve chosen not to listen to the negative media. If I did, I’d be crawling in a hole and never coming out! Instead we’ve hired two new Consultants this year to support the idea that business will be full swing ahead! The vibe in our office is fabulous, supporting nothing but focused energy, great anticipation and the desire to make it happen.
