Results from Ashton Tweed's October Survey
Last issue we asked our readers:
In this time of an "economic roller coaster," how do you expect your future hiring needs will be affected over the next 12 months?
Here are the survey results:
The response to our October survey was excellent! Of the more than 900 people who responded, a majority (67%) work for large companies with over 100 employees.
- 38.6% of respondents said hiring will stay about the same.
- 19.8% of respondents said hiring will increase.
- 13.9% of respondents said hiring will decrease.
- 7.7% of respondents said they would make more use of consultants for specific tasks for a defined period of time.
- 20% of respondents said that both hiring would decrease and they would make more use of consultants for a defined period of time.
This survey demonstrates a positive trend in hiring in the life sciences, with over 58% of the respondents indicating they will maintain or grow their current hiring activities.
Thank you to everyone who participated in our survey! |
