Spring is almost here!

I have been very happy to hear the positive sentiment about the economy in recent days. That means that we will soon be back to "normal". That is, lots of jobs and no candidates. If you have worked diligently through the "winter" of the economy, you should start to see shoots sprouting soon. The recruiters who took the time to build solid client relationships prior to this difficult economic time fared much better than those who didn't. Is there a lesson in this and have you learned it? How are you going to ensure that you spend less time at the contingent end of the market and more time at the exclusive and retained? Now is the time to decide on your future and set your goals accordingly. Learn the all important skills for building better relationships and headhunting and use your networks more effectively. Use this time to "start over" on your desk and redefine it, and finally get ready for the ride once again!
