OMAHA, NE, September 12, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Changes in the economy have created changes in many aspects of how a company operates, including its hiring practices. Scot Thompson, president and CEO of C&A Industries, said the company has noticed a contraction in the marketplace. "This is logically brought on by an increased conservatism of companies considering expanding their workforce," he said. "This conservatism couples with reduced shifts and right sizing has caused an influx in the number of people looking for employment in a time which the desire to increase headcount is decreasing. The result is a more difficult job market." Thompson said that while auto and financial industries are soft, he has seen an increased hiring interest in the health care and industrial sectors. He also said the time to find a new position is lengthening for many job seekers. "There are more people vying for the same position," he said. "And companies are taking longer to make a hiring decision, often because of the fact that there are more quality candidates from which to choose and organizations are being much more conscious and cautious of incremental spending." While companies may hesitate to add to the headcount, Thompson said, companies do have interest in upgrading existing staff and positions. "Key managerial and executive personnel positions remain strong relative to other opportunities," he said.
