A recessionary environment is a depressing time for a recruiter. When the phone doesn't ring with new search assignments and existing clients don't return calls, it gets lonely to be a recruiter.
But enough about me - you knew all of that if you thought about it. You also knew that many recruiters took up other pursuits while the economy was so far down. So last week's unemployment numbers were a particularly nice surprise.
Temporary positions hit a big uptick, and that's good news for those looking for work -
there actually are some of those "temp to perm" opportunities to get your foot in the door. For more detail, check out Perrin Peacock's blog:

Here's hoping the next report shows what I'm seeing in the willingness to hire measure for employers - they are actually opening new positions! Hurray!
