My wife returned from New York on Sunday after spending several days there with our son. He's visiting with a friend for the week near where we used to live in Pennsylvania.

She'll pick him up on Friday, drive back and then next Tuesday, the two of them will leave for three weeks for a Buddhist festival they attend in the lake country.

Three more weeks by myself.

The Job Market: July 2015 

Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter, and his views on the job market.

 

"I have been blogging about the job market in the US and around the world since August 2001."

 

What I write is not designed to be political or critical; they are my observations and sense of where we are and where we are going.

July, 2015

 

The U.S. Department of Labor said the economy added 223,000 jobs last month and the U-3 rate of unemployment rate in the US is now 5.3%. Down from 5.5%. The report indicates that the reduction in the unemployment rate was caused by people giving up their efforts to look for work. My opinion is that the weather was nice and they decided to enjoy it; they'll return in the fall.

Is your firm trying to hire people?

There are labor shortages for skilled professionals in many fields
and incompetent third party recruiters are being asked to fill these positions? How do I know? I have heard the lament time and again from firms that tell stories of recruiters asking the most mind numbing questions.

"What are the three must haves for this search?

"Is that an absolute requirement?"

"What is the interview process like."

"Are you willing to be flexible on that?

Then they send resumes that in no way shape or form reflect what you've asked for?

  I have filled more than 1200 positions in my career plus many consulting assignments.
