Next 6 months DESPITE SEASONAL SLOWDOWN, CONFIDENCE IN THE EXECUTIVE EMPLOYMENT MARKET INCREASES  Summary Analysis:  In the July Recruiter Confidence Poll conducted by ExecuNet, 205 recruiters reveal search professionals are expecting a stronger executive employment market in the months ahead. According to the survey, The majority of recruiters (52%) report that business conditions in the executive search industry improved over the past thirty days, down slightly from 55% in June. Despite this drop, confidence in the executive employment market continues to grow. Just 27% of recruiters are not confident that the executive employment will improve during the next 3 months â?? down from 32% last month. Of those expecting the executive employment market to improve in the three months ahead, 51% are somewhat confident and 22% are either confident or very confident. "Activity in the executive employment market typically slows in the summer months," says Mark Anderson, President of ExecuNet. "This summer, the demand for talent hasn't dropped nearly as far as it did just one year ago â?? this resilience is a source of optimism in the recruiting industry." In looking toward the next six months, recruiters are even more confident the executive employment market will gain strength: Just 9% are not confident, down from 12% last month; 47% are somewhat confident; and 44% are confident or very confident in the market. Over the course of the next three months, the search industry is expecting an 8.4% increase in the number of assignments they receive from companies. For the next six months, this projection increases to 15%. "As corporate profits begin to recover, business confidence and investment should follow," says Anderson. "Once these pieces are in place, we expect to see the release of pent-up executive demand, which is good news for both recruiters and business leaders looking for new career opportunities." To prepare for growth in the executive employment market, 32% of recruiters report that their firm has plans to hire additional professional staff in the next three months, this is more than twice the number (15%) that have increased staff in the past three months. <A HREF="http://www.execunet.com/e_trends.cfm?CFID=2836645&CFTOKEN=72ab629dae0fe847-3F7EB2EC-EC6D-8554-4E18384F2E5A76B9";>Back to Market Trend Overview</A> function validate(formname) { var isAnd = andcheck(formname); //alert(eval(formname)); var isFull = checkfull(eval(formname).fullname.value); var isEmail= checkemail(eval(formname).email.value); if(isEmail == 0 || isFull == 0 || isAnd == 0) { return false; } if(isEmail == 1 && isFull == 1 && isAnd == 1) { sendme(eval(formname)); return true; } } function sendme(formname) { self.name="service"; newwin=window.open('http://www.execunet.com/e_ei_signup.cfm?insertMem=1&CFID=2836645&; CFTOKEN=72ab629dae0fe847-3F7EB2EC-EC6D-8554-4E18384F2E5A76B9&fullname='+replacespace(eval(formname).fullname.value, " ", "+")+'& email='+eval(formname).email.value,'NewOne', 'resizable=0,location=0,screenX=200,screenY=50,left=200,top=50,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=yes,t oolbar=0,width=500,height=500'); eval(formname).fullname.value =""; eval(formname).email.value =""; } function checkfull(){// alert(name_str); for (var i = 0; i Sign up for our FREE  Full Name:   E-mail:   (all information is confidential)  View the <A HREF="http://www.execunet.com/e_resources_insider.cfm?CFID=2836645&CFTOKEN=72ab629dae0fe847-3F7EB2EC-EC6D-8554-4E18384F2E5A76B9";>latest issue</A>   The following are some recent positions filled by ExecuNet members: GM, Utilities, $150K + bonus COO, Info Tech, $185K COO, Manufacturing, $200K SVP Sales, Financial, $150K VP, Optns, Blding Pds, $120K   "I want to take a moment to thank you for the quality service and support you provide to members.
