Again this year, it is the highest Dunwoody Dinner attendance. Why? Because everyone’s favorite radio station is WII-FM: What’s In It For Me? We can’t help it—when you ponder everything that depends on your job/career, it’s no wonder you prioritize to play the hiring game as well as you can. Hiring managers ask the same question... what can you do for me?
This time, the professional recruiters who generously shared their wide and deep views, learned opinions, diverse and sometimes contrasting advice with us were...
• Geri Baldwin Gonzales – Sr. Director of Recruiting, RGP
• Stephanie Duncan – Director of Recruiting, Crawford & Company
• Cyndy Gay – Recruiter, TrueBridge Resources
• Josh Murphy – Sr. Technical Recruiter, Staffing Technologies
• Paul Noetling – Recruiter, MATRIX Resources
• Michael W. Patrick – Sr. Talent Acquisition Partner, Fiserv
The good news is the general consensus that demand for Project Management expertise continues to increase. Paul describes it as an uptick, while Michael states “a large need,” both for direct-hire and contract/consult arrangements. “The market is up,” according to Josh, and “with the right skill mix and good timing, the best time to find a job is when you have one.”
