The Recession's Dark Shadow Covers Higher Education
John Ikenberry
Welcome to an Inside Recruiting Channel podcast on Total Picture Radio. This is Peter Clayton Reporting. HigherEdJobs.com was founded in 1996 to list open positions at colleges and universities. Today, HigherEdJobs.com has one of the largest job databases focused exclusively on college and university positions. Joining us is the president and co-founder of HigherEdJobs.com, John Ikenberry.
"For higher education in the USA, adversity is going to be the stimulus to careful review of mission. I have always thought that a university budget is one of the most philosophical of documents -- for it tends to cut through polemics and oratory to give a glimpse, albeit blurred, of a college's or university's genuine priorities. Today it means colleges and universities are going to have to step away from the temptation of the past five or six years in which they have enjoyed an abundance of student applications, deceptively and transient high returns in endowments, and reasonable funding from state governments and/or foundations. More and more thoughtful private fund raising will be one obvious response -- as will careful review of what is essential and what is marginal in its various offerings and activities. Allow me to preface my comments by declaring my perspective. Some professors see campus administration as expendable and unimportant. I don't share that view." - Dr. John Thelin, Professor of Education, University of Kentucky, from an interview with Andrew Hibel, Chief Operating Officer and Co-Founder of HigherEdJobs.com.
A Candid Conversation with Recruiting Industry Veteran, Sheila Greco
Sheila Greco
It's no secret that the recruiting industry is getting hammered in the current recession. In December, Heidrick & Struggles announced plans to cut its workforce by 15 percent. The job boards are getting hit, too. ERE reported CareerBuilder had terminated about 15 percent of its 2,100 person workforce in December. Other job boards (including JobFox), have recently reported staff reductions.

Founded in 1989, this is the third recession that Sheila Greco and Associates has navigated in its 20-year history.
