Geneva, IL, May 13, 2009 / — Ashley Ellis LLC, a leading information technology recruiting firm in the Chicago area, announced today that the company is expanding its recruiting staff to keep pace with demand.
“As a result of recently added information technology contracting services and an increase in demand in our contingency based service over the past few months, Ashley Ellis is expanding its staff by 40%,” said Katy Gallagher, executive manager at Ashley Ellis. “In today’s climate of economic uncertainty, it’s key to secure a foothold in the marketplace and capitalize on it as we enter better economic times, and that’s exactly what we’ve done,” added Gallagher.
“Utilizing our comprehensive training and development program, we plan to groom the people we hire today into our management team of tomorrow,” Gallagher concluded.
Over the past several months, the recruiting industry has been significantly affected by the economic slowdown. Many recruiting firms are still struggling, and others have gone completely out of business, but there is light at the end of the tunnel. Some economic indicators have stabilized, and some are even improving. This is good news for those firms prepared to take advantage of a growing economy. During the past month the industry has seen some improvement in both contingent placements as well as contract staffing positions. In the first part of the year, employers were slow and cautious in taking on new employees or creating new positions, but moving forward, many are concerned that they might be ill prepared for a turnaround in the economy.
As the market loosens up, so does the pool of qualified candidates. Candidates who sat tight during the economic downturn are now in the job market testing the water, and this is another sign that an economic rebound may be closer than originally forecasted.
