Manufacturers seek to recruit top talent
Dec 22nd, 2004From Career Journal.
Manufacturers are cautiously recruiting for senior operations, engineering and sales executives to cope with greater demand and cost pressures.
In particular, executives with lean-manufacturing and global experience are being sought, as well as business-development and financial professionals, say recruiters. Hiring most actively are food manufacturers and suppliers to aerospace-and-defense and oil-and-Gas exploration companies.
"There continues to be fewer jobs overall, but compared to this time last year, there's a significant difference in the hiring forecast. This year is much better," says Jim Bethmann, vice chairman in Dallas for Highland Partners, a global executive-search firm.
