Robin Gillman recently posted a blog on ERE.net about the invaluable new role of recruiters in the US economy. The conclusion reads: It falls on the recruiter’s shoulders to gracefully bring the message to the employer and employee — that this is a new economy, that Americans have to become more competitive globally when it comes to salary, real estate, energy, and products. Americans have to live and work more efficiently and greener. This includes everyone, even the CXO’s.
If this message is not delivered, equilibrium will not be kind. This brief analysis sums up a much-needed strategy for employing more US workers and revving up our industries. Globalization, for better or for worse, has made it necessary for American workers to compete against so many other nations for employment. Recruiters can be both facilitators and catalysts for change, since they know the world of hiring inside and out. Now more than ever is the time to insist that employers and employees recognize global competition and do all they can to ensure that they come out on top.
