What's going on with the hiring market right now, leading executive searches, and roles to apply for today
Greetings from Recruiting from Scratch!
What’s the latest with the jobs market?
The US added 272,000 jobs in May, according to the May jobs report. Increases in hiring are always a good sign (much better than declines) but sometimes this report can be misleading when it comes to tech growth. The largest gains usually come from healthcare, government and hospitality - not engineering.
But in this report, we’re seeing gains in professional, scientific and technical services, which includes computer systems design, technical consulting and scientific research - so this is definitely good news.
We’re still seeing some layoffs in tech and within larger companies, but we’re also seeing hiring pick up more. Many of our clients are hiring more, or we’re onboarding new clients who are ramping up for summer.
And the types of roles we’re opening are excellent opportunities too - like Founding Engineers, Product Leads, Senior Blockchain Engineers, and more. These are strategic roles (with great salaries and equity) that will be critical for our clients’ success.
