About Our Blog Page
Minimize
Our blog page is dedicated to issues involving hiring/staffing in this volatile and sporadic market. As a recruiter, I see how the economy affects both sides of the hiring equation (employers and employees), and my focus will be to bring this information and analysis to you in a clear and unbiased way.
 
As an introduction, I’m the General Manager of NexTec Recruiting Services I recently brought my long-established recruiting practice, STS Recruiting (www.STSRecruiting.com) into affiliation with the NexTec Group. Given the confused economy, it seemed like a good idea to start the New Year by writing a series of articles in a blog about the job market and hiring, as a way to serve my intended client-base.
 
My intent is to seek supporting and dissenting opinions, and provide the “on the ground” analysis, that will help us all better understand how to more effectively hire and grow in these turbulent times, and turn economic lemons into lemonade.

The dot-com bust of 2000-2001 was a prime example of a "universally tight" economy. The economic effect of the dot-com bust was not limited to certain industries, rather it was felt across all industries. What we are experiencing now, however, doesn't seem to be a universally tight economy.
