Job Market Clues:Where Executives Are Being Sought
The financial crisis has had a big impact on the job market.Companies are reorganizing,according to Jeanne Branthover of Boyden Global Executive Search.Many of our clients have changed what they want people to do.There are not a lot of these people around to fill the jobs of today,such as software engineers.
Asia is hiring and busy,but they want local talent,and there is not a lot of it.Clients say their growth is gonna be in the emerging markets,including South Africa,so our office there is very busy also,as well as in Latin America,where there has been a 300% increase in business.U.S. business has increased by only a little as companies implement plans.In Europe,things are slowing down-particularly in London,which has selective hiring,and they are worried.
Ms.Branthover is Managing Director of Boyden's New York office and Head of its Global Financial Services Practice.The company has 70 offices around the globe.

Experts: Inside the Tough Job Search-plus who is hiring now
The Labor Department posted a November jobs gain of 120,000-below the 125,000 estimate.At this point in our recovery,it's a disappointing number,said John Allison,Professor at Wake Forest School of Business and former CEO of BB&T.It's not a bad number,but at this point in the cycle we ought to be creating more jobs.
Businesses are concerned about Europe,rising taxes and regulations.Businesses create jobs through innovation,which is hindered by regulation,Mr.Allison pointed out.
It's very expensive to hire and fire,adds Jeanne Branthover of Boyden Global Executive Search.It's also very expensive to hire and wait for new workers to add value.That's why it's those who are already working who are being hired.
If things are better,they are ready to expand hiring.Plans are already in place so they are ready to immediately pull the trigger if things keep looking up,Ms.Branthover revealed.
Among large companies who are hiring now in spite of these factors are Wells Fargo(10,000+ jobs);Sears Holdings(1,000+);and Morgan Stanley Smith Barney(1,000+).
