A surge in demand for talent means that even out-of-work managers can get job interviews now.
The so-called jobless recovery has been especially tough on people who lost senior management positions in the wake of the downturn and who then, in a classic Catch-22, found that employers wouldn’t interview them because they were unemployed.
“For the past five years, companies only wanted to meet with candidates who were already working,” notes Sally Stetson, a principal at executive recruiters Salveson Stetson Group. “Now, we’re seeing the stigma of unemployment disappear. Employers are looking for the best talent they can find, even if someone has been ‘in transition,’ often through no fault of their own.”
