RJ and Makay

ExecuNet just published their 2010 Executive Job Market Intelligence Report, and the executive recruiters they surveyed have identified the top high growth functions for executive job seekers in 2010:

1. Business Development
2. Sales
3. Operations Management
4. Engineering
5. Marketing
6. General Management
7. Finance
8. Consulting
9. R&D
10. MIS/Information Technology

Of the 186 search firms who responded to the ExecuNet survey 64% are expecting more senior management hiring over the next six months. In the short-term recruiters are still optimistic with 42% expecting increases in the next 3 months. That's the highest number since June of 2008 in nearly two years!

You would think a financial services recruiting firm would have gone out of business by now with the current state of Wall Street and Main Street. We have seen many of our competitors go under or go into other industries. RJ & Makay has had several divisions who have certainly taken a beating in the last year. Fortunately, we have also had divisions who have had their best years ever, propelling us to a record year in 2009.

Although for the most part open positions are hard to come by, there are pockets of opportunities that are we are seeing a substantial increase in. Because of this we are hiring additional professionals to help us with our growing business.
