With 'back to school' season just starting we examined what hiring demand and candidate supply look like for the 2012 school year. Each year hiring demand peaks in August just before school starts, which could be expected because schools need to have staff in place and be ready for the new academic year. Since 2009, each annual peak in demand has gotten higher than the year before. Trending ahead of schedule, May showed the highest volume of online job ads so far for this year. If hiring demand trends follows suit with previous years, even more ads will be posted in August and potentially beating May's record. May 2012 is 22% ahead compared to May 2011's hiring demand. Will August surpass May and follow in line with trends?
