Demand Higher
for HR Execs

The hiring of human resource executives is on the rise, according to new findings in the Jobfox Top 25 Most Wanted U.S. Job Candidates: June 2008 rankings. Human resource executives are now the 25th most-wanted professionals. Recruiting/ staffing professionals ranked 24th.

“There are still many bright spots, even in the face of an uncertain economy,” says Rob McGovern, CEO of Jobfox ( www.job-fox.com). “Most companies continue to place a premium on the recruitment and retention of qualified professionals. There will be layoffs, but most companies are depending on human resource managers

to keep talent losses to a minimum. And many companies continue to aggressively seek new sources of talent from their recruiters.”

Employers who pay attention to niceties such as pleasing décor, an inviting break room and comfortable room temperature are more likely to retain their best people and improve worker productivity. In a recent study released by Blumberg Capital Partners, 80 percent of workers said the condition of their work environment affects their perception of their organization, and 33 percent said they’ve actually left a job or taken a new one based on “the condition of the building and/or the amenities offered.”
