As Larry points out, the job market is a place of constant change. It is critical to understand this fact and how it relates to effective recruitment and selection of

It is in your best interest to know what today's job seekers are looking for, who they are, and why they are looking for that next opportunity.

In 2008, Target Training International conducted research on a private database of over 19,000 active job seekers to determine what they are looking for in their future employer and what the job search feels like in the current economy.
