The World of Work Is Changing
It’s a new year full of new resolutions and a new job can’t be far behind. While one in three (36 percent) of businesses expects to hire contract and temporary workers in 2012, more than one in four (27 percent) expects to recruit temporary or contractual workers very soon, according to a CareerBuilder/Harris Poll (PDF) released earlier this month.
Eric Gilpin, president of CareerBuilder’s Staffing & Recruiting Group, sees temporary jobs “playing an increasingly important role in the economic recovery,” and noted that many of these positions do indeed become permanent ones.
Small businesses are the key driving force behind the hiring trend with 36 percent (of businesses with 250 or fewer employees) expecting to hire full-time permanent staff. HR managers predicted that the greatest salary increases would be seen by salespeople and other positions that are tied to revenue generation, with accounting and finance rounding out the top five.
