Adams Consulting Group, LLC is pleased to announce a new service designed to assist “passive candidates” in their desire to confidentially explore the job market.

This unique service, powered by Staffingbook, allows candidates to explore potential opportunities while maintaining strict confidentiality. Unlike the major job boards where your potential candidacy is exposed, this service enables a candidate to utilize the services of a professional recruiting firm to represent them to prospective employers in a COMPLETELY confidential manner, thus mitigating the risk of their current employer becoming aware. In addition, candidates benefit from having a professional recruiter with experience in their industry as a career mentor who will review opportunities with them as they come up.

To qualify for this FREE Service, your resume may not be currently posted on any of the career boards (Monster, Career Builder, etc)

For further details, please contact Len Adams at 212-566-7600 x1 , email lenadams@acgresources.com or log on to www.Staffingbook.com

This is a question that I am asked almost daily by both employer clients and candidates.  I would like to take a few moments to discuss the state of the job market, from an employer’s viewpoint.

As I write this in September of 2011, we have been through one of the worst economic downturns that any of us can remember. Throughout the downturn and in the current market, the demand for Banking professionals has remained strong.  Yes, we had some pockets of time during the last couple of years where there appeared to be less activity in hiring; however, overall, the job market remained relatively fluid. This is due to a number of factors.

First and foremost, demand for staff is driven by several factors. These factors are what creates an opening in any organization:

1. Resignation….. An employee resigns either to move to another company, relocate to another city or leave the industry. While in tough economic times people tend to have less opportunities to leave for, there is still movement

2. Termination..an employee is terminated do to disagreement, insubordination, incompetence or any one of a number of reasons.. This will create a hole in an organization that needs to be filled

3. Retirement… Inevitably, people do retire.. While trends are such that people are working longer, this doesn’t negate the fact that at some point, an employee will retire and leave

4. Death/Illness… While this may sound morbid, it is a fact of life that we are all mortal. As such, we face situations in our organizations where people become ill and need to no longer work or, someone dies.

5. Expansion/Increased Workload/Re Sizing after Layoffs…  In booming economic times, this is the main creator of open positions in an organization

With the exception of number 5, all of the above factors exist in EVERY market condition, whether we are in a recession or economic boom.  The main difference is in the NUMBER of available opportunities and the urgency to fill them.

So, getting back to the question of How is the Job Market, I can honestly say that despite the economic crisis we have been in for the past couple of years, we have seen a constant flow of activity in both of our Full time search activities, as well as our Interim Consulting and Temporary staffing divisions.  In virtually every assignment that we have worked on, we always ask why the position is open.. In 100% of the cases, it was due to one of the above 5 factors.

Looking forward, we are optimistic that this cycle, as all previous cycles, will result in additional job activity, in spite of what the Washington pundits say.
