Top Accounting Talent in Winnipeg
August 20th, 2009
Early summer months saw a considerable increase in recruitment activity as Winnipeg businesses threw off the doubts of the first quarter and started investing once again in building their teams. This was a product of steadily improving domestic and US trade, and a feeling that the earlier scares were to some extent unfounded.
Candidates as a result, are feeling more secure and the market for top talent is becoming increasingly competitive we anticipate this to continue in coming months.
Employers are finding that although there has been a moderate increase in candidate volumes, most of them are ‘B’ candidates laid off in down-sizing.
