WTB v.39.0 Whew! Survived 2009!

Whew! Survived 2009! How about you? Beck/Eastwood celebrates our 25th Anniversary in the Executive Search Industry, and not a moment too soon! ’09 was the most brutal economy most of us have faced in our lives, certainly in the 21st Century.

How is 2010 going to be different? In several ways: First, there are many economic indicators pointing to an end to the recession, among them, median housing costs in CA are up; home sales are up (not just foreclosures); Nestle merging with Cadbury. In our own practice, we began the New Year with 2 hires within a week of each other.

All these indicators point to a new confidence for large companies to begin hiring and growing again. At all levels people are starting to polish their resumes, to be ready should Mr. Headhunter Man come a’callin’. VP and C level Executives are anticipating making strategic moves in the first quarter / half of ‘10.

What’s hot? Too early to tell. What’s not. The financial rebound hasn’t rebounded.

Stay on top of your industry and abreast of new opportunities.

Good Hunting
