Industry News and Updates

 

I　can’t believe　it is almost the end of the year and contrary to popular belief companies in Houston are still hiring!!!! I personally had 10 new job orders called in to me over the past 2 weeks. Don’t give up if you are still looking to make a move before the end of the year. Most people tend to slow down their search around in November and December.　This is the time to　capitalize on that. It means there is less competition for you!　 Now don’t get me wrong, employers are still being very picky, but the　amount of opportunities in the Houston job market　are continuing to grow.　 Our clients have needs at levels we have not seen since for a long time.　 Our candidates are starting to receive multiple offers on a regular basis.　 We are anticipating that this surge in opportunities will continue throughout the 4th quarter of 2011 and well into 2012. I must say that I am very excited to see what the new year brings us.

 

Stay tuned for my next update in　January
