Non Designated Professionals

June 20th, 2010

According to a recent Workopolis survey, 2010 marks the start of “the talent hunt decade”. Their findings state, in the coming decade companies will have to work harder to recruit and retain employees and won’t be able to count on top talent coming to them.

While the recession saw a glut of workers on the market, with the economic recovery comes a “long-term talent shortage,” says Gabriel Bouchard, president and chief brand officer of Workopolis. “The day is done when a company could post a job and take their pick from the responses. Now it must sustain an ongoing campaign to court and entice the best talent over a period of time.”

We are pleased to present to you a very brief bio of some of the best accounting professionals we are currently representing for your consideration.

A second survey suggests that “the best candidates are almost always employed,” meaning companies need to find ways to recruit those who might not be looking for a job. That will often mean using tools more often associated with marketing than with human resources.
