Wish you a very Happy 2010!

And how about starting 2010 with some upbeat news? Based on an ExecuNet study, the Wall Street Journal reports that executive level jobs will be much in demand in 2010.

Takeaways

Here are some additional takeaways from the study:

  • 19% of recruiters are expected to be more busy in 2010 than in 2009 and recruiters will be adding more staff for additional hiring needs.
  • Recruiting activity for executive positions will be the strongest in healthcare, clean energy, pharma and high tech industries
  • According to a CareerBuilder report, recruiting activity for positions lower down the corporate ladder also is increasing. Recruiting for these positions is expected to be the strongest in information technology, manufacturing, financial services, professional and business services and sales.

Though the reports are based on independent surveys, they do provide insight to conclude that hiring in 2010 will be much more stronger than in 2009.

What are your thoughts on hiring in 2010?
