Temporary Jobs Are Here to Stay

By Ashley Rowe on September 14, 2012 in Hiring Demand Indicators, Staffing Industry.

In honor of American Staffing Association's National Staffing Employee Week, which salutes temporary and contract employees, we looked at hiring trends and job ads posted by temporary help service firms.

Hiring demand for temporary jobs declined sharply after September 2008. Since then, demand has gone up and down. There hasn't been a steady increase until this year. Job volume was up 20% in August 2012 over the same time last year with more than148,000 job ads posted online.

The occupations appearing on these lists are very similar to the most demanded occupations for all job types. Registered Nurses appear on the top of each list. Also common among these lists are Web Developers, Computer Systems Analysts and Computer Specialists. Overall, healthcare and technology are the most in-demand for temporary positions. The list of temporary positions also includes several finance and business support related positions.

Since these are already industries with high demand and hard-to-fill positions, employers may be advertising for temporary workers to help fill these job openings. New York, Houston and Chicago have the most jobs advertised online by temporary agencies.

Putting Employees Back in Human Resources

By Abby Lombardi on July 17, 2012 in Human Resources, Staffing Industry.

Hiring demand for human resources jobs fell dramatically during the recession, as companies recruited fewer new employees and some organizations cut employee programs in an effort to save money. Since then, the number of job ads has been growing – especially in 2011 and so far in 2012. We were excited to see that during June 2012, more than 36,000 jobs were advertised online for HR professionals. Although this is a slight decline compared to the four-year high during May 2012, hiring demand for HR professions is up by 17% and is at higher levels than before the recession began.

Metropolitan areas with the highest volume of HR job listings during June were New York (NY), Washington (DC), Chicago (IL), Los Angeles (CA), and Boston (MA). Employers in New York City placed the highest number of online job ads, but saw the lowest year-over-year increase of these five cities. With just over 2,800 unique job postings for HR professionals during June, this represents a mere 5% increase compared to June 2012. In comparison, Chicago experienced the highest increase of these five locations, at more than 24%.

The majority of available job ads were for Recruiters – more than 18,000 jobs were advertised online for recruiting and sourcing jobs, an 11% year-over-year increase. Other HR functions that experienced increasing hiring demand were Compensation, Benefits, and Job Analysis Specialists; Compensation and Benefits Managers, Training and Development Managers, Employment Interviewers, and General HR Managers.

The 15 most commonly advertised job titles in the human resources field were:

  1. Recruiter
  2. Human Resources Manager
  3. Human Resources Assistant
  4. Director of Human Resources
  5. Human Resources Generalist
  6. HR Generalist
  7. Payroll Specialist
  8. HR Manager
  9. Payroll Clerk
  10. Technical Recruiter
  11. Human Resources Coordinator
  12. Payroll Administrator
  13. Human Resources Specialist
  14. Training Specialist
  15. Team Member Trainer

Employers and staffing firms that are sourcing for HR professionals are likely to experience moderate difficulties since hiring demand is increasing and causing competition to attract qualified candidates. However, these conditions will vary slightly by location depending on the available talent supply. Our Hiring Scale™ shows that companies in Washington, DC are currently experiencing some of the most difficulties. With the volume of job ads growing about 21% since last year, Recruiters are likely to compete heavily to attract talent and experience a longer time-to-fill than average. The average duration of an HR job posting in the DC metro area is about 6 weeks.

In comparison, the Hiring Scale also shows the easiest places to currently recruit talent in this industry are:

  • Salem (OR)
  • Scranton (PA)
  • Jackson (MS)

These areas are likely to fill job openings faster and easier than the rest of the United States. If you are currently struggling with filling open HR jobs due to higher local competition and a smaller local talent pool, try sourcing candidates from these 3 cities. On the other hand, if you are looking for work in HR, you are likely to find a job faster in Washington, DC than in Salem, OR because there are more companies looking for this talent. In addition, you're likely to experience less competition from other candidates.

Human Resources Professionals Are in Demand

By Abby Lombardi on June 5, 2012 in Human Resources, Staffing Industry.

Good news for Human Resources professionals – hiring demand is growing! In May 2012, more than 31,000 job ads were available online for HR jobs, representing an 8% increase from last year and up 40% compared to 2010. 73% of the jobs were advertised by employers, while 27% were posted by recruiting and staffing agencies.

Although hiring seems to be growing on average, the demand in each city varies. Employers in the New York City metro area continue to place the most job ads of any city. However, demand in May down 7% from May of last year. Los Angeles and San Francisco also saw fewer online job ads compared to last year. Of the 10 cities with the most job ads during May, Philadelphia saw the greatest increase, with 25% more ads this year than last.

Recruiters were the most demanded job within the HR field, representing more than 50% of the total job ads for all HR jobs in May. Compensation and Benefits Managers and Specialists were the second most demanded HR occupation in May, accounting for 25% of HR-related job ads. The most commonly advertised HR job titles are:

  1. Recruiter
  2. Human Resources Manager
  3. Human Resources Assistant
  4. Director of Human Resources
  5. HR Generalist
  6. Payroll Specialist (or Payroll Clerk or Payroll Administrator)
  7. Technical Recruiter
  8. Training Specialist
  9. Compensation Analyst
  10. Senior Recruiter

As demand continues to increase, companies that are sourcing for these jobs are likely to find them more difficult-to-fill. Our Hiring Scale™ shows that, of the 10 cities above with the highest demand, employers in Boston are likely to see more difficulties than on average. In Boston, hiring demand has grown about 6% over the past year, however the local talent pool hasn't grown at the same rate. Employers that are sourcing for HR professionals in Boston are likely to see more competition and a longer time-to-fill than many of their counterparts across the US. Nationwide, job ads for HR related jobs remain online for an average of 39 days – or about 5.5 weeks. In comparison, job ads in the Boston metro area remain online for 6 weeks, slightly longer than nationally.

Mobile Recruiters See Increasing Hiring Demand

By Abby Lombardi on May 24, 2012 in Recruiters, Staffing Industry.

It's been projected that recruiting via mobile and text will grow in 2012. So, we thought we would look at how many online job ads for Recruiters require these skills. In April, there were more than 200 available jobs being advertised online that included mobile aspects of jobs. Some jobs are looking for Recruiters to recruit via mobile phones, while other are looking for recruiting professionals to create or maintain a mobile friendly online career center for potential candidates.

Hiring Demand for Recruiters with Mobile Experience

Source: WANTED Analytics

We wanted to see what skills are required of potential candidates in mobile recruiting positions. Below are the 10 tools and technologies most commonly listed in job ads that candidates should have experience with.

  1. Microsoft Office
  2. Microsoft PowerPoint
  3. Oracle HRIS
  4. Microsoft Word
  5. Software as a Service (SaaS)
  6. Applicant Tracking Software
  7. Candidate tracking
  8. Salesforce CRM
  9. Social networking sites
  10. Statistical analysis

Our Hiring Scale™ shows that these jobs are likely to be moderately hard-to-fill across the US. While the number of employers looking to implement mobile recruiting strategies seems to be increasing, the number of potential candidates that have experience is not growing at the same pace. On average, we see that job ads for mobile Recruiters stay online for about 37 days – or 5.2 weeks.

However, our Hiring Scale also shows us where some of the best markets to source candidates are. In Houston, it is likely that employers will see a shorter time-to-fill than in most other cities nationwide. If you are hiring for professionals that have experience with recruiting via mobile channels, you may want to consider targeting your job ads in some of these cities below.

Recruiting for Recruiters: What Skills Employers Look for in Candidates

By Abby Lombardi on May 16, 2012 in Human Resources, Recruiters, Staffing Industry.

As employers expand their recruiting staff, they may be gearing up to hire more across the entire organization. During April 2012, more than 5,800 jobs were advertised online for Recruiters – up more than 10% year-over-year when compared to April of 2011 and more than 33% versus April 2010. Approximately 3,200 (55%) of these jobs were placed by corporations (or direct employers). The remaining 2,600 jobs were advertised online by staffing firms. Online job listings that were posted directly by corporations have increased about 17% year-over-year, while hiring by recruiting agencies increased just 3% between April 2011 and April 2012.

Volume of Job Ads for Recruiters – 4 Year Hiring Trend

Hiring Demand for Recruiters

Source: WANTED Analytics

The five metropolitan areas with the highest volume of job ads for Recruiters during April were New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Washington (DC). Although Recruiters in New York posted the most ads of any city, hiring demand over the past year actually declined about 1% compared to the same time month in 2011. In comparison, Recruiters in Dallas saw the most year-over-year growth of these five locations, with 27% more job ads than were seen online in April 2011.

We are also able to see that the 10 tools and technologies that Recruiters are most commonly required to have experience with are:

  1. Microsoft Office (including PowerPoint, Word, Outlook, Excel)
  2. Oracle HRIS
  3. Customer relationship management (CRM)
  4. Word processing
  5. Applicant tracking software (ATS)
  6. Data mining
  7. Candidate tracking
  8. Social networking sites
  9. Contact management
  10. Workforce management

Nationwide, companies sourcing candidates with animation skill sets are likely to find them moderately hard-to-recruit, with varying degrees of difficulty in each location depending on the available talent supply. The Hiring Scale™ shows that employers in Los Angeles are currently experiencing more difficulties than average when sourcing for Recruiter job openings. While demand for this skill has grown, the local talent pool of qualified professionals has not grown as the same rate and employers are likely to compete heavily to attract talent. Increased competition for a limited pool of candidates will also cause a longer time-to-fill than many other areas across the United States.

The Hiring Scale also shows that the best places to recruit Animators are currently Omaha (Nebraska), Fort Wayne (Indiana) and Jackson (Mississippi). These areas are likely to fill job openings faster than the rest of the United States. Job ads in these areas are posted for an average of about 4 weeks, 1 week shorter than in Los Angeles.

Hiring Demand for Recruiters at Highest Levels in 4 Years

By Abby Lombardi on April 11, 2012 in Human Resources, Staffing Industry.

We've been closely watching the volume of job ads for Recruiters and a new 4-year high was reached in March. More than 6,900 jobs were advertised online for this occupation. Not only is this is a 34% increase compared to last year, but it also represents 62% growth from March 2010 and 219% from March 2009. Just over half – 56% – of all job ads for Recruiters were placed by corporate employers, whereas the remaining 44% were posted by staffing firms and third party recruitment agencies. Hiring demand for both corporate recruiting and staffing firms has increased over the past year. Although, job ads for corporate recruiters has increased about 40% compared to staffing firms which increased 26%.

Hiring Demand for Recruiters – 4 Year Hiring Trend

The metro areas where we saw the most job ads for Recruiters were New York, Chicago, Dallas, Boston and Philadelphia. While all of these locations have seen increases in the number of job ads in March, Philadelphia saw the greatest year-over-year growth at more than 78%.

15 skills that are most commonly required of potential candidates for Recruiter job ads:

  1. Microsoft Office
  2. Microsoft PowerPoint
  3. Microsoft Word
  4. Oracle HRIS
  5. Customer relationship management (CRM)
  6. Microsoft Outlook
  7. Microsoft Excel
  8. Facilities management
  9. Applicant tracking software (ATS)
  10. Contact management
  11. Data mining
  12. Social networking sites
  13. IBM Lotus Notes
  14. Oracle Java
  15. Online databases

In addition, the top 5 certifications required by Recruiters are:

  1. General Educational Development (GED)
  2. Certified Public Accountant (CPA)
  3. Professional in Human Resources (PHR)
  4. First Aid certification
  5. Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR)

Some of these skills and certifications may look strange – like job ads for Recruiters that require Java or a CPA. However, when you look at the industries with the most job ads for Recruiters, this might make more sense. The industries with the most demand in March were Computer Design and Programming Services, Real Estate Agents and Brokers, Offices of Certified Public Accountants, Engineering Services, and General Medical and Surgical Hospitals. Many of the accounting businesses that are sourcing for Recruiters prefer that potential candidates have a CPA degree. Also, many employers in technology industries are looking for candidates with technical skills, like Java. Organizations require these specialized talents because they want their recruiting staff to understand the job openings they will be sourcing for and what the positions entail.

Will 2012 Be the Year that Hiring for Recruiters Goes Mobile?

By Abby Lombardi on March 1, 2012 in Recruiters, Staffing Industry.

Mobile recruiting is a hot topic in the human resources field and there is some debate on when – and if – mobile recruiting will become a more widely accepted practice. It’s been forecasted that mobile recruiting will be one of the biggest trends in talent management this year. We thought it would be interesting to look at how many online job ads for Recruiters include mobile skills as a requirement. Hiring demand for these skills could indicate how quickly mobile strategies are being implemented by HR departments in the US.

We found 15 employers that specifically mention mobile recruiting in their job – either in the description of the position or as a required skill. Since some companies are sourcing candidates for multiple positions, this works out to 23 unique job openings currently being advertised online. Although this doesn’t represent a large portion of job ads for Recruiters, this is a trend we plan on watching.

Hiring Demand for Recruiters with Mobile Skills – 16-Week Hiring Trend

Hiring Demand for Mobile Recruiters

Some of the most commonly advertised job titles that include mobile recruiting in their job ads include:

  • Recruiter (or Technical Recruiter)
  • Telerecruiter
  • Learning Development Manager
  • Bilingual Spanish Recruiter
  • Staffing Consultant

Since mobile recruiting strategies are still developing, our Hiring Scale™ shows that these jobs are moderately hard-to-fill. Much of the difficulty will be caused by the fact that the current talent pool is small. Our Candidate Supply charts estimates there are less than 1,000 qualified candidates currently in the workforce. These candidates represent 0.5% of all people currently working as Recruiters. If you are looking for work as a Recruiter, these skills may become more valuable if hiring demand increases.

Job Ads for Recruiters Bounce Back in January

By Abby Lombardi on February 15, 2012 in Recruiters, Staffing Industry.

During the first half of 2011, we saw the hiring demand for Recruiters increase steadily. However, at the end of 2011, we saw the volume of job ads for staffing professionals decline. We were hoping this was a seasonal trend, and that hiring would increase again in 2012. It looks as if it may be starting. In January, more than 6,100 jobs were advertised online – that's a 26% year-over-year increase compared to January 2011.  It is also close to the 2011 high which was seen in August 2011 when just over 6,300 ads were posted online. Many times we watch hiring trends for Recruiters because it can signal that companies are gearing up for more hiring – do you think this increase in demand for Recruiters means there is more planned hiring in 2012?

Hiring Demand for Recruiters – 4 Year Hiring Trend Nationally

The majority of job ads were placed by direct employers, accounting for 55% of all recruiting job ads. Staffing firms placed the remaining 45% of job ads. The top 5 employers that placed the most corporate recruiting jobs included Amazon.com, Insight Global Inc., PDS Technical Services, Microsoft and Capital One.

The 10 metropolitan areas with the highest volume of Recruiter job ads are below. 9 of the 10 saw increases when compared to January 2011. Despite seeing the most hiring demand, the New York metro areas was one of the few cities nationwide that saw a decline. Of these 10 locations, hiring for Recruiters grew the most in Seattle with a 92% increase. Atlanta was close behind in hiring growth at 90%.

According to our Hiring Scale™, Recruiter job openings are likely to be moderately hard-to-fill. Seattle, which we previously mentioned to have one of the fastest growing markets for Recruiters, is also one of the locations experiencing the most difficult conditions when trying to fill these jobs. The average duration of a job ad in Seattle is 42 days – or 6 weeks. Compared to the national average of 5 weeks, this verifies that employers in Seattle are experiencing more difficulties with filling these jobs and are seeing a longer time-to-fill. However, this means that if you are a Recruiter looking for work in the Seattle area, it is likely that there will be competition for your skills and it will be fairly easy for you to find a job.

On the other hand we our Hiring Scale also shows us that the easiest places to source for Recruiters are: Davenport (Iowa), Fort Wayne (Indiana), Springfield (Missouri), York (Pennsylvania), and Omaha (Nebraska). In these locations, hiring demand is fairly low and talent supply is high, meaning there are more candidates to chose among. Conversely, these are some of the most difficult places to find work as a Recruiter.

Temporary Help Service Companies Post 52,000 Job Ads in September

By Abby Lombardi on October 17, 2011 in Staffing Industry.

During September, companies in the Temporary Help Services industry posted more than 52,000 jobs for temp or contracted workers. Hiring demand for temp jobs has increased 31% compared to September 2010. More than 39,000 jobs were full time, with about 7,500 designated as part time openings. In the latest BLS Employment Situation Summary, they also pointed out that Temporary Help Services is a bright spot, adding 53,000 net jobs over the past 3 months.

Source: WANTED Analytics

Temporary Help Services Recruiters in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago placed the most job ads, each with more than 2,000 new online postings during September. Washington, DC, Dallas and Boston also saw high volumes of job ads.

The occupations being demanded for temp workers are very similar to the job ads being seen for permanent workers. Office and Administrative Support jobs are most frequently advertised – including Administrative Assistants, Receptionists, and Bookkeepers.  Computer Programmers and Healthcare professionals are also highly demanded. The 15 most commonly advertised job titles by Temporary Help Services companies were:

  1. Physical Therapist
  2. Occupational Therapist
  3. Administrative Assistant
  4. Pharmacist
  5. Customer Service Representative
  6. Receptionist
  7. Accountant
  8. Licensed Practical Nurse (or LPN)
  9. Registered Nurse
  10. Project Manager
  11. Machine Operator
  12. Certified Occupational Therapist Assistant (or COTA)
  13. Bookkeeper
  14. Executive Assistant
  15. Software Engineer

Due to the fact that many of these jobs are being demanded on both a permanent and temporary basis, it is likely that Recruiters in this industry will face difficult conditions. Of the 3 most common titles above (Physical Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and Administrative Assistants), our Hiring Scale™ shows that Occupational Therapists are likely to be the most difficult to recruit. This is not necessarily surprising since we have reported in the past about difficulties involved with hiring for these jobs. There are about 10.45 potential candidates in the workforce for every temp job that is being advertised (either full time or part time). Interestingly, it is likely to be easier to fill temporary jobs than as permanent jobs. The candidate pool for permanent Occupational Therapist jobs consists of just 1.65 potential candidates in the workforce.

Staffing Firms Advertise 322,000 Jobs in Past 30 Days

By Abby Lombardi on October 11, 2011 in Staffing Industry.

So far in 2011, Staffing Agencies have posted more than 3.63 million job ads (34% of all jobs advertised online in the US). Over the past 30 days, there were more than 322,000 new jobs advertised. Although down by about 18,000 from the previous 30-day period, Recruiting Agencies have grown their online ad share by about 9% since the beginning of the year. The metro areas with the most job ads placed by Recruiting Agencies during September were New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.

The occupations that Staffing Firms are recruiting for fall in line with the highest demanded occupations by employers, with Healthcare and Tech jobs being the most demanded. Healthcare jobs accounted for 32% of all ads placed by staffing firms. Tech and Computer Specialist ads represented about 23% of ads placed by agencies. Other highly demanded occupations were Management Occupations, which consist of Marketing Managers and Departmental Managers, and Business and Financial Occupations, such as Accountants and Management or Financial Analysts, represented a combined 12% of ads by third party recruiters.

Since Staffing Agencies are recruiting for some of the most highly demanded and hard-to-fill occupations in the US, they are likely to find their job reqs hard-to-fill. For example, our Hiring Scale™ shows that Occupational Therapists are the most difficult to recruit of the healthcare related occupations. Nationwide, the talent pool consists of about 1 potential candidate in the workforce for every advertised jobs, meaning that third party recruiters are likely to experience extremely difficult recruiting conditions. Chicago's talent pool is smaller than average, and Recruiters – both corporate and third party – are likely to see a talent shortage for this occupation in the area.

The Hiring Scale also shows that the easiest places to recruit Occupational Therapists are Binghamton and Buffalo (NY), Jackson (MS), Madison (WI), and Weirton (WV).
