Summary Analysis:

| |
While most executive recruiters hold tight to a "wait and see" approach to matching internal resources with mounting corporate client priorities, more of them are considering expanding their own consulting and research teams to do just that over the next three months.
In January, ExecuNet's benchmark Search Firm Hiring Index revealed that 28 percent of 157 responding executive recruiters indicated they would be adding new professional research and consulting staff over the next three months, a gain of nine points from December. That was also the highest level registered since February 2011.
The question for those in the executive recruiting business will be whether their January 2012 optimism will be sustained in the coming months.
The answer to that question will no doubt hinge on whether corporate hiring for senior-management roles picks up in the first quarter, and whether the pace of senior-level jobs growth will extend into the second quarter.

"The next time I have an upper-level position, I will get in touch with ExecuNet. I was very pleased with the quality of the candidates that I was receiving. Normally, if I were to post this on [other sites], I'd receive about 100 candidates who think they're qualified [and are] not, and maybe 2 that might barely fit the specs. So, from an internet-recruiting standpoint, you guys are doing a wonderful job!!! Thanks again!"
