The surprisingly optimistic results affirm that 46% of surveyed companies are NOT in a hiring freeze. The survey went on to announce that 68% of participants anticipate normal hiring to return by Q3 of this year. However, when asked if new technology was being employed to assist with sourcing, 66% responded no.
Over 8,000 F1000 Companies, Staffing Firms, and Recruiters were surveyed. This survey was conducted between January 16th, 2009 and February 6th, 2009.
In summary, the survey found these key points:
"We were surprised to find that despite all of the news regarding the state of hiring in the United States, the survey found that the majority of F1000 Companies reject the hiring apocalypse and continue to fill positions. This survey shows that the economic situation may not be as poor as perceived," Sean Bisceglia, CEO TalentDrive.
