Gerry Crispin is principal and chief navigator of CareerXroads, and frequent contributor to Total Picture Radio. He and his partner, Mark Mehler are human resource professionals who have spent over two decades working in just about every facet of the employment industry. I happened to catch Gerry just as he was crunching the numbers from their latest survey of 200,000 positions filled by responding companies in their 2006 Annual Sources of Hire Study. Their report offers key information for job seekers trying to determine where to best spend their time looking for their next job.
Participants in the CareerXroads study include some of America's most recognized brands and are very large corporations. With six years of comparisons on this same respondent base, the new study will highlight what is working for employers and where they will be spending their money in 2007. Gerry and Mark will be publishing the latest report at the end of this month, and we're happy to give you this "sneak preview" of the latest trends in recruiting here on Total Picture Radio.
