Three months ago, we released the first installment of Hirewell\\u2019s Data Insights series.\\xa0 We crunched the numbers that we had seen over the previous 12 months to paint a picture of the hiring market.\\xa0 The job market flatlined (Q2 2020) and then rebounded\\xa0 (Q1 2021) in the span of 9 months.\\xa0\\xa0

Another quarter is in the books. We are back with the latest installment.\\xa0 And guess what?\\xa0 The numbers point to even more hiring activity. To give you some context, Hirewell has 75 recruiters that focus across 6 functional areas.\\xa0 Hiring was up significantly in all areas:

  • Tech
  • Digital/Marketing\\xa0
  • Human Resources,\\xa0
  • Finance & Accounting
  • Sales
  • Real Estate Services

In Q2, we completed nearly 500 hires across 100+ different clients. I don\\u2019t say those numbers to brag (though I\\u2019m extremely proud of our team).\\xa0 This is real hiring data from companies on a national basis. We continue to see some fascinating trends.

They included:

  • 355% - increase in year over year activity (Q2 2020)
  • 38% - increase in quarter over quarter activity (Q1 2021)
