Executive Job Growth, At Least, On The Rise

Almost four in ten executive recruiters say hiring will improve by the end of the first quarter, while 64 percent say it will improve in the next six months, according to ExecuNet’s latest Recruiter Confidence Index, released yesterday.

More than half (56 percent) see client companies “trading up” by hiring new people to replace underperformers, and only three percent report that clients are still eliminating senior management jobs.

Doesn’t make the rank and file feel much better, but this may be a precursor to job growth among lower levels.
