To this day, staffing and recruiting professionals, and the general public, are still feeling the effects of the recession.
The employment market has been steadily, if slowly, improving, yet the lingering taste of a recession is still there. As a result, recruiters are using the latest technological developments, like staffing software and recruiting software solutions, to provide relief and to leverage the current job market.
John Vanderkin, President of Employers Overload, an innovative workforce staffing company, spoke with us at Bond International Software about the impact the recession has had on the recruiting industry and what trends we can expect to see in the future.

“Yes, the recession had a significant impact, both good and bad, on the staffing industry.
