Well, predictably, in an election year, there's more confidence by corporations to hire. Although the earlier months' results for new jobs were more encouraging than the most recent, confidence is fairly high that no one, Republican OR Democrat will do anything to cost US jobs. Which means, when a headhunter calls, take THAT CALL! It's also high time to update your resume, as there are a couple of great hiring months before vacations bog the process down. There's not much rhyme or reason to hiring trends at our firm (spanning 27 [gasp] years, EXCEPT that hiring slows to a snail's pace during vacation months. Kids out of school, warmer weather, unless you take ski vacations, most managers are out of the office somewhere between late May and September. BTW, a tight, concise resume is a must! I've never been reminded of this as often as this past year, when it seems no amount of detail is enough for our clients. They want to make quality hires.
