Recruiting Opportunities during Recession

The economic turbulence has hit the recruitment industry very badly and it is growing worse day by day. Recently, the unemployment rate in the U.S. has reached the 25-year high of 8.1%. Over the past 12 months, millions of jobs have been lost and the job loses still continues.

Although the current situation is of great concern to the recruiting fraternity, there is still a huge opportunity. The recession has resulted in a large number of resume postings in the internet, job boards, social networking sites, blogs, etc. It is now very important for the recruiters to identify the growth areas and build a resume database so that they can cash in on the opportunity when the economy bounces back.
