TalentDrive Economic Recovery Survey Reveals Human Resources TopFuture...

TalentDrive (www.talentdrive.com), the creator of the advanced SaaS sourcing technology, TalentFilterSM, just today released the results from the recent What Steps Are You Taking to Leverage this Recession April through June 2009 survey. The economic recovery survey found that 50% of HR Professionals surveyed are actively preparing for the return of hiring and the other side of the recession.

When asked what positions HR will be struggling the hardest to fill, 60% claimed Information Technology (IT) talent is anticipated to be the most in-demand, followed by Sales and Operations both at 30%. Although 50% claim to be proactively preparing for the hiring return, TalentDrive when on to ask how confident they are in their department'ss readiness to handle the influx of open positions and hiring needs. 50% of the respondents said yes, they are prepared for future hiring needs, while the other 50% claimed maybe.

The survey went on to ask what areas HR plans to spend the largest portion of its budget, once the recession turns. 100% of those surveyed said they would invest in implementing new marketing tactics to help recruit new talent, while 50% said they would be investing directly in re-hiring full-time employees.

Over 8,000 F1000 Companies and HR Professionals were surveyed. This survey was conducted between April 23, 2009 and June 23, 2009.

In summary, the survey found these key points:

>    50% of HR Professionals are proactively preparing for employment recovery

>    60% anticipate Information Technology (IT) talent to be the most in-demand

>    50% of HR Departments feel confident they are adequately prepared for the influx of hiring; 50% said maybe

>    100% of HR Departments plan to invest in implementing new marketing tactics to recruit, while 50% plan to invest directly in re-hiring full time employees

I was pleased to find the majority of HR Professionals surveyed proactively preparing for the return of hiring. Although no one can predict without a doubt when the hiring spike will occur, I feel strongly that HR Departments need to make use of this recession by pipelining candidates and planning budget allocation according to business initiatives beforehand. With 100% of those surveyed investing in new marketing tactics, not only is there increased B2B spending on the horizon, but TalentDrive is pleased to offer a technology that provides a creative new solution to proactively target candidates via online recruitment marketing, said Sean Bisceglia, CEO TalentDrive.
