My colleagues and I just returned from our annual CMI industry conference in Louisville last week. As usual, the speakers provided us with a wealth of information to share with you. I am always fascinated by statistics, so thought I would share some of the highlights I found most interesting.
–18.7 of 18.9 million new jobs in the next seven years will be service-producing
–Health care will account for 12 of the 20 fastest growing occupations
–85% of recruiters use online resources to uncover “information” about candidates
–35% of recruiters eliminate candidates based on what they find
–Blogs are becoming an executive accessory
–6 degrees of separation is now 5 degrees
–67% of executives believe there is a shortage of qualified talent
–70% of HR Managers believe the War for Talent is more intense than a year ago
What do you find the most interesting, and why?

Here’s another interesting and potentially valuable statistic: according to a recent study by ExecuNet (http://www.execunet.com), the greatest growth in executive jobs this year will occur at MEDIUM-SIZED companies ($50M to $200M in sales).
Important to keep in mind - it is usually NOT the big, well-known companies where job seekers will find the most and the best opportunities.

You are right, Louise. And it is rarely a posted position that leads to that next, great opportunity!
