Exec Recruiter Sees Increase in Global Hiring Across Sectors

That recruiter must be spunky.

Stevef, You're a moron.... aa, even the president has said we're still going to be losing jobbs (as if we haven't lost enough already).

They're already talking about needing a SECOND stimulus.

We've lost more jobs than the WORST CASE scenario already.

ahh hello streeteasy, nyc10022 is back with her name calling. Can we PLEASE do something to shut this person down?

lol

I second thought SE, she does keep my threads on top for all to read and be motivated by. That is huge. Okay you can call me names nyc10022. You little nerd :)

nyc10022...sweetheart. Stop taking on the big boys. You need to go and do more girly things. Men taunt and fight, women are supposed to be more gentle and reasonable that's why you sound so geeky. btw, the amount of time you spend on these boards you could have a second job that will help with that downpayment and your dream of owning a little piece of manhattan. have a great day freak.

"Stop taking on the big boys."

Oh, steveF!

Unemployment is a lagging indicator. Healthy companies will be adding headcount via recruiters even while jobs are being lost. That process has started, albeit slowly.

SteveF, the big boys think you're a moron, too. Hell, one has said it repeatedly on this board!

Back to your playpen!

I'm sorry you lost your shirt "investing" in real estate at the peak of a bubble... but we told you so.

Now go home and cry to mommy!

> Unemployment is a lagging indicator.

Normally, but not this time. Unemployment started waaaay early in this one.

And that is a VERY bad sign.

NYC - You are not right on that statement. Unemployment is a lagging indicator coming out of recessions. Healthy companies hire via recruiters for several quarters while unemployment continues to increase. That is where we are right now.

There will always be healthy companies hiring, thats not much of an indicator.

The article names two sectors - healthcare is one, which we said would be adding jobs because of government spending, and people don't stop dying in recessions. I've been saying this for quite some time.

Financial services... there have been so many layoffs and closings that of course this is going to happen. But net employment is waaaaaaaaaay down. Thats not a positive indicator.

10,000 folks being laid off, and 100 being picked up is only a positive indicator in loony tunes land. Where SteveF's condo doubled this year.

ya see that's nerdy and corny...stop forcing confrontation lady you will look like a fool.

I am not disagreeing that this is not a 1:1 replacement of jobs. Clesrly, it is not, as UE is still rising and jobs are being lost. But, it does show that we are liely 2-3 quarters away from the bottom of job losses. You can take that as "positive" as you want to. Since it is my business, I am taking that as a very good sign, but absolutely not a sign that firms are hiring left & right.

"stop forcing confrontation lady you will look like a fool."

You're starting to sound more and more like LICComment!

steveF = idiot

starting to feel like bart simpson writing on the blackboard a hundred times " unemployment is a lagging indicator"

purely anecdotal, but i've been seeing the same thing. I switched jobs about 2 years ago, and I've received 3 unsolicited calls from recruiters in the past 2 weeks asking me about searches they are working on based on a resume they have on file from me from over 2 years ago. and these aren't eat what you kill jobs - these are solid base + bonus jobs. admittedly at 2nd or 3rd tier banks, but if they are that active, I can only imagine the packages that 1st tier banks are willing to throw at people these days.

still, its hard to see how a drastically improved wall street can positively affect manhattan real estate prices. nyc10022 will have her classic 8 on 5th at $500/sq foot in no time. in fact, if she waits a little longer, they'll probably pay her to take it off their hands
