Summary Analysis:
Nearly half of the nation's executive recruitment firms plan to hire this summer to keep pace with corporate clients' continued demand for senior-management talent.
In June, ExecuNet's Search Firm Hiring Index survey of 138 management recruiters found that 44 percent of respondents have plans to hire additional professional staff – including researchers, consultants and support personnel – to help shoulder the anticipated growth of executive search assignments over the next three months.
Recruiters' short-term confidence increased in June, as 52 percent were "confident" or "very confident" the executive employment market will improve during the next three months. That was up three percentage points from May.
