Recruiter Desk-building Research Guidance Needed

[Sally Metcalf]

I wonder how, through internet searching, to answer two questions for our two new recruiters building new desks. In either medical device or environment, Where is there industry growth/hiring? Where in these thriving areas is the growth/hiring NOT well-covered already by recruiters? How would I approach such a search to discover this info?

[Shannon Myers]

If you mean the sales side it's pretty well covered. Lots of folks looking for jobs. I would really talk directly with some other recrutiers who are actively working in that specialty and form a relationship with them.

Thanks very much for your reply, Shannon.

Yeah, if you are looking for job leads, each market is different and it would be a good idea to network with local recruiters. Outside of that, spend some time on the job boards and see who is hiring consistently. You might also want to check out demographic profiles in your area (what are the bigger industries, who are the top employers). There are a few sites out there that will give you this info like ACI NET or JobBank USA. Here is a link:

Good luck!
