A Note From The Editor
Employment Snapshot
Online postings for job
openings increased last month following a small dip in
April, according to the
Monster employment index released last week.
The Monster index rose to a
record 167 in May from 163 in April. Online postings are
up 25% in the past year, far outplacing the 1.5% growth
in nonfarm payrolls.
Even as online job listings
have surged, help-wanted advertisements in newspapers
fell to a four-decade low in April, the Conference Board
reported earlier this month.

Employers
Intensify Recruiting---Globally
As the global economy becomes stronger, employers
around the world will invest more resources in
recruiting. Very few employers have full staffs, even
though most have tightened their organizational charts.
When companies reduce the number of positions to operate
in a lean mode, every unfilled position affects the
achievement of corporate objectives. Mission-critical
vacancies must be filled by competent employees, a
difficult challenge in a tight labor market with a
shortage of skilled workers.
 Employers
are implementing a variety of strategies to attract the
needed talent. Many are assigning more employees to
recruiting duty. These people are charged with finding
desired candidates, even if they are already employed by
other companies. Pursuing employees of other companies
has become a common practice, sometimes described as
“poaching.” In the war for talent, some recruiting teams
concentrate on one or two source companies and steal a
number of people at the same time. The hiring company
wins: the raided company is suddenly weakened.
Recruiting on college campuses will increase this year
and in the future. Some of this recruiting will be
accomplished in the traditional way, with company
representatives visiting schools to meet and interview
prospective employees. Even more will be achieved
through the Internet. In a few years, it will be more
difficult for recruiters to find available seniors to
interview; many of them will be off the market because
they were recruited as interns and co-ops in their
sophomore and junior years.
Exciting things are happening in recruiting overseas.
Within one week, two significant events occurred in
Doha, Qatar. Qtel, the country’s telephone company
staged the country’s first job fair. With 350 jobs to
fill, the company’s human resource professionals were
delighted to see 7,000 people attend. Applicants could
participate in either Arabic or English.
A few days later, Qatar University held its first ever
Career Day, with booths staffed by company
representatives. Commercial Bank attracted over 1,000
people to its booth, introducing the bank’s prestigious
Graduate Management Trainees Development program. The
program develops Qatari graduates to become well rounded
bankers with a clear understanding of all aspects of
banking operations.

Layoffs fall to lowest level since 2000
Challenger survey shows job cuts off 35% from May 2005
Planned job cuts were down 35% from the 82,283 announced
in May 2005. So far in 2006, major companies have
announced 369,282 job cuts, down 14% from the first five
months of 2005.
The total doesn't include some 4,000 to 5,000 job
reductions announced by Sun Microsystems
"If the low numbers continue to hold, it would mark a
return to pre-recession job-cut levels, which averaged
about 54,000 from 1998 through 2000," Challenger said.
