Thank you to everyone who participated in NPA’s 2012 business prediction poll on LinkedIn. As a global recruiters network, we are always interested in what recruiting businesses experience around the world.
67% of the 45 respondents were male and 33% were female. Positions held by the majority of respondents included owner, manager, CXO, and VP. The poll did not include in which areas the recruiting business growth would occur. However, several comments point towards the areas of engineering and information technology.
The poll question and responses appear below:
“What are your business predictions for 2012? Do you expect your recruiting business to:
- Increase significantly – 38%
- Increase slightly – 42%
- Remain the same – 11%
- Decrease slightly – 0%
- Decrease significantly – 9%
The results of the poll, while not scientific, are encouraging. Frankly, I was surprised to see that 80% of respondents believed their recruiting business would increase in 2012. That large percentage is definitely encouraging!
Do you expect your recruiting business to also increase in 2012? If yes, do you predict the increase will occur in the areas of engineering and information technology or in another area?
