Search Process

With the business world speeding faster and faster, companies have less time to search the marketplace for the communications talent they need to defend their reputation, build their brands and relate to their constituencies.

Not only do they lack time, they face the larger problem of locating the right talent for their needs. Consider the following recent survey results: 55% of hiring managers across the board said it was "difficult" or "very difficult" to find qualified candidates for jobs during 2005. An astounding 82% believe recruiting will become even more challenging in the future.
