There’s nothing better than the feeling of an accepted offer for a recruiter (or for a candidate), one that overwhelmingly and resoundingly answers that question: “Would you consider an opportunity if it was clearly better than the job you have today?” Every job offer is a promise – and the motivations for saying ‘yes,’ conversely, are driven by the desire to have one’s promise fulfilled. That’s why, as recruiters and employers, we’re required to make a compact with candidates that, within our control and knowledge, the job is a promise that can be kept.

There are positive signs in the job market reflected in March’s Monster Employment Index (MEI). We saw a 6% year-over-year (YoY) increase in online recruiting demand in March, the second positive YoY increase in a row. This is a 1% jump from February, which marked the first positive year-over-year increase in 24 months.

Industry Breakdown

The upward trend was broad based across sectors, with growth in industries across the board. There were, however, a few worth mentioning. The real estate, rental, and leasing sector registered one of the steepest growths YoY, but this move upward signifies mostly an improvement from such a deep bottom, with the likely driver being non-real estate rental and leasing activity. Many equipment rental and leasing companies are seeing growth as both corporations and people are renting and leasing equipment, for example, moving trucks to help relocate.
