No End In Sight For Growth

A recent survey conducted by ExecuNet, the executive job search and recruiting network, reveals recruiters are upbeat about the employment market following a sharp increase in executive job growth during the first half of 2005.

According to the survey of 129 executive recruiters, the search industry is expecting a 17% increase in the number of assignments it receives from clients during the second half of the year -- slightly more than the 15% increase in assignments reported during the first six months of 2005.

While the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare industries continue to top the list, there`s solid job growth in nearly all segments of the market, says Mark Anderson, President of ExecuNet. If job growth at the executive level continues at this pace, controlling executive turnover will be a top priority for organizations in the year ahead.
