Is there too much competition?
The concern of many individuals contemplating the Staffing and Recruiting Profession is that there is too much competition. There are thousands of recruiters worldwide, but most recruiters are specialists in a certain industry or niche which greatly limits your competition.
Most Staffing and Recruiting firms only fill one out of seven job orders, contracts or temp assignments they write, due to a lack of identifying the talent their clients will hire. This one statistic proves there is a great need for recruiters who can identify talent.
With a baby boomer retiring every 6 seconds, the demand for top talent will continue to increase! This is a great time to enter this Profession.
